- Description
- The Social Security Administration intends to award a purchase order to IBM for the use of the facility owned by ExecuTrain of Baltimore, MD for IT training purposes. This requirement is for a facility only, the requirement is not for training. This facility must be within a 10 mile radius of the Social Security Administration headquarters which is located at 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD 21235. The value of this purchase order is estimated to be under $45,000. The classroom must be large enough to hold 14 students/workstations. The minimum physical hardware requirements for the training are: Processor: PIII; Processor Speed; 850Mhz Memory; 512M Storage; 10G Network Adapter; Token Ring Video; 1024 x 768 Peripherals. The minimum software requirements for the training are: JDK 1.2.2; IBM HTTP Server 1.3.6; IBM Lotus Domino R5; IBM Websphere Application Server 1.1; IBM Websphere Application Server 3.0 Advanced Edition; Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 with SP6; and Netscape Navigator 4.75. The training courses require Virtual Private Network (VPN), a technique used to allow access to data/labs behind their firewalls. The facility must have the ability to connect to IBM labs which means that each workstation can get outside the firewall to the internet, therefore, a 3270 emulator must be installed on the workstations. The training courses will be held on the dates as follows: July 22 through July 24, 2002; July 29 through August 1, 2002; August 6 through August 8, 2002; August 19 through August 21, 2002; August 26 through August 30, 2002; September 9 through September 10, 2002; September 9 through September 13, 2002; September 16 through September 18, 2002; September 23 through September 25, 2002; September 23 through September 27, 2002; September 24 through September 26, 2002; September 30 through October 3, 2002; and September 30 through October 1, 2002. Some of these classes overlap so more than one classroom will be needed for the dates of September 9, 2002 through September 13, 2002; September 23, 2002 through September 27, 2002; and September 30, 2002 through October 1, 2002. ExecuTrain of Baltimore is the only known source capable of providing the required facility. Other organizations possessing the requisite facility are invited to submit information concerning their capabilities, experience, pricing and other pertinent data (including GSA Schedule information). When responding to this announcement, respondents should refer to Training Facility.

FAXED RESPONSES SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED. The Government does not intend to pay for information received. All responses from responsible sources will be fully considered. As a result of evaluating responses to this notice, the contracting office may determine that a solicitation will be issued. If a solicitation is issued, no additional synopsis will be published.
