TRAIN Coordinator

The South Dakota Department of Health (SD DOH) is conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP) to procure a TRAIN Affiliate Site Supervisor for its national learning network. The selected contractor will provide technical assistance and support for the Public Health Foundation (PHF) TRAIN Learning Network, which disseminates training opportunities across the public health, healthcare, and preparedness sectors. Key deliverables include managing the TRAIN platform, collaborating with SD DOH staff, and participating in conferences and meetings as directed. The RFP requires a qualified individual who can effectively support the department's training infrastructure and facilitate learning opportunities for public health professionals. Evaluation criteria will assess the technical proposal independently from the cost proposal, with proposals due by April 10, 2024. Interested offerors must submit inquiries via email to Mariah Pokorny at mariah.pokorny@state.sd.us, with all communications and responses to be posted on the state's e-procurement system. The contract term is one year, with potential for up to four one-year extensions, and current funding is allocated through November 30, 2027.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types were explicitly outlined in the provided documentation. The RFP does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged enterprises or specific organizational structures for potential offerors. Additionally, no incumbent vendor information was disclosed, and details about existing technology infrastructure were not comprehensively specified. While a precise award value was not specified, the contract's duration and funding timeline suggest a structured procurement process. The RFP allows multiple cost proposals, indicating flexibility in pricing and potential budget ranges. The procurement is specifically targeted at Harding County within South Dakota, focusing on enhancing the state's public health training capabilities through the TRAIN Learning Network.
