- Description
- The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) intends to issue a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) not to exceed $25,000 for Information Technology (IT) on site training as described below. Proposals are being requested by January 21. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a written solicitation will not be issued. Orders will be placed against this BPA via the U.S. Department of Labor Training Authorization and Evaluation Form DL 1-101. The vendor will provide the BLS with the following training as required: <> TPL Tables for Windows Introduction: This three-day course is designed for any personnel who need to understand the process of creating tables using TPL TABLES, including any personnel involved in producing, publishing or editing tables, producing or publishing data, or management of these areas. TPL TABLES is a general-purpose cross-tabulation software package. It is based on the BLS-developed mainframe TPL system. TPL TABLES has been commercially available since 1987. It is used at government agencies, private companies, associations, and universities around the world. TPL TABLES is used to summarize data and present the results in a tabular form. Its tabulation engine is fast and efficient. The output produced by TPL TABLES is considered publication-quality. This course will teach the participants how to use the MS-DOS editor or the Windows editor to create the text files used in TPL TABLES jobs, how to write the data description file (codebook file) needed to create tables, how to design table request files that specify the structure of the table output, and how to write format request files to produce the publication ready table formats. <> TPL Tables for Windows Intermediate: This three-day course is designed for any personnel who need advanced knowledge for creating tables using TPL TABLES, including any personnel involved in producing, publishing or editing tables, producing, analyzing or publishing data, or management of these areas. This course will briefly review the material taught in Introduction to TPL TABLES for the PC and cover more advanced topics, including generating statistics, sophisticated table design, and complete table formatting. <> TPL-SQL for ODBC: This is a two-day, hands-on course. The TPL-SQL database interface gives you direct database access from TPL Tables. It eliminates the need for you to first extract the data from the database before creating tables. You do not need to know SQL commands, because TPL Tables automatically generates the required commands and extracts only the data it needs. TPL-SQL works via ODBC to access databases for which you have ODBC drivers. Some examples are SAS, Sybase, MS Access and SQL Server. The TPL Codebook Builder makes use of the data descriptions stored in the database to help you build a TPL codebook (data description) interactively. The BLS has three training rooms in the Postal Square Building (PSB), each of which is equipped with Dell Pentium desktop computers for up to eighteen students. Classes will have a minimum of 8 students and the training will be conducted on-site in the PSB. The vendor will provide all services associated with delivering quality training for system developers, analysts, computer specialists, end-users, managers, and project leaders who require a comprehensive understanding of the subject material. The training is to provide participants with new capabilities to significantly improve the way complex systems are analyzed, designed, developed, and implemented. Offerors must be able to document instructor qualifications and experience in presenting the training described in this announcement. Any questions concerning the training in this announcement must be received by 3:00 p.m. on January 13. Proposals complete with pricing must be received by 3:00 p.m. on January 21. U.S. Postal Service deliveries to the PSB may be delayed due to special processing requirements. To ensure on-time arrival, all submissions should be transmitted by fax or by e mail to the contacts listed below. Offerors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database to be considered for award. All correspondence must reference this FedBizOpps solicitation number.
