Who buys here
How federal agencies buy education and training
Training is bought through RFQs and combined synopsis/solicitations for commercial courses, and through RFPs for programs designed for the agency, often judged on best value with instructor qualifications, a course outline and past performance. Online learning platforms are usually bought as IT. Common NAICS codes: 611430 for professional and management training, 611519 for technical and trade schools, and 611710 for educational support services.
Contracting officers set a purchase aside for small businesses when they expect offers from at least two capable small firms at fair prices (the rule of two). Whether a firm counts as small depends on the SBA size standard for the notice's NAICS code, in annual receipts or employees, and offerors need an active SAM.gov registration with a Unique Entity ID.
