Training Content Provider

The Orange County Transportation Authority (Authority) is requesting proposals for a training content provider to deliver comprehensive learning solutions for 100 administrative employees under Informal RFP 250059, with proposals due November 3, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. and a pre-evaluation meeting at 4:00 p.m. the same day. Electronic submission through the OpenGov Procurement portal is required.

The scope calls for 100 online learning licenses and proprietary training materials for in-person instruction, with curriculum focused on leadership capabilities, technical expertise, and interpersonal skills tailored to OCTA's organizational development objectives. The provider must demonstrate expertise in organizational development, adult learning principles, instructional design, and prior experience serving governmental or transportation-industry clients. Vendors must identify key personnel with resumes not exceeding two pages per person and provide a minimum of three client references. Proposal limit is twenty pages excluding appendices.

The contract budget is $34,500 for a one-year term, structured as firm-fixed-price with unit pricing for learning licenses and a one-time fee for training materials. The contract term listed in one document specifies three years; however, the majority of source materials consistently state one year with no renewal options identified.

Evaluation criteria carry equal weighting at 25 percent each: Qualifications of the Firm, Staffing and Project Organization, Work Plan, and Cost and Price, scored on a points-based system. No prevailing wage, liquidated damages, retention, or Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goals apply.

Questions are due October 24, 2025 at 2:00 p.m., with Authority responses by October 28. The Evaluation Committee convenes November 10, with contract execution scheduled for November 24. The procurement contact is Desiree Fernandez, Associate Buyer, at dfernandez1@octa.net or (714) 560-5811.
