- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 611430 with a small business size standard of $7.0M annual gross receipts for a period of 3 years. THIS IS A 100% SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), Contracting and Facilities Division (PGE), is requesting training services for Learning From Our Legacy under this requirement. Background: PBS, one of the services within GSA, provides work environments for over one million federal employees nationwide. Created in 1949, PBS serves as a builder, developer and manager of federally owned public buildings and leases space on behalf of federal agencies. It provides a full range of real estate services, including property acquisition and disposal, property management, design, construction, alteration, and repair of buildings, and overall portfolio management. Over the years, PBS has become a leader in the management of the Federal Government's considerable real estate portfolio. PBS manages a portfolio of general office space that is among the largest in the United States. The portfolio is quite diverse, with over 8,000 buildings and nearly 300 million square feet. PBS serves over 100 federal agencies and commissions. PBS's major customers include the Department of Homeland Security, Defense, Health and Human Services, Justice, Interior, Agriculture, and the Judiciary. The buildings in the PBS inventory represent the Federal Government in tangible ways to local communities and PBS is committed to maintaining them accordingly. Over half of the federally owned buildings are over 50 years old, many with historic significance. PBS preserves and protects the character of these heritage buildings that are architecturally unique and of historical importance. These unique building characteristics coupled with the sheer number of buildings and tenants have led to PBS developing many innovative ways to deliver and manage projects. PBS seeks to retain these innovative ideas in its organizational memory through the PBS Academy's "Learning From Our Legacy" training course. The contractor will be required to develop case studies of important PBS projects that cover issues in real estate, construction, design, urban planning, project management, sustainability, public affairs, customer expectation management, and property management. The trainer will be expected to impart lessons learned from these projects and other case studies in the PBS Academy's library using the case study method of teaching. Objective: The objectives of this course are to give participants a comprehensive knowledge of important PBS projects and processes and help them to develop critical thinking skills used by project managers and teams to enable them to deliver projects and programs successfully. The training program must be designed to evoke conversation and discussion among experienced PBS associates, thereby instilling a sense of understanding of the complex nature of project management in PBS and providing more options for the participants when delivering projects in the future.
