The awarded contractors may serve as trainers, co-trainers, training consultants, or curriculum developers, with responsibilities including providing expert content and practice knowledge, collaborating with other trainers, supporting training coordination and organization, and designing standardized training curriculum. The contract has an initial term of up to 3 years, with 2 options to renew for up to 3 years each, for a total potential duration of up to 9 years. The anticipated total expenditures over the potential 9-year contract are approximately $4.70M, and federal funds may be used to fund part or all of the resulting contracts.

Prime bidders that are themselves certified as an M/WBE, M/WNPO, VBE, or SDVOBE must submit the SDP Plan Form but may not list themselves or their affiliates as SDP partners. The Commonwealth will contact the provided business references to confirm the bidder's abilities and qualifications.
