EGB FY27 Management Training FR 13522659

The State of Colorado’s Governor’s Office of Information Technology is soliciting a vendor to deliver a virtual instructor-led management training program to approximately 160 managers during Fiscal Year 2027, running from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The training must be conducted remotely using virtual instructor-led delivery methods, with no more than two sessions and five total hours of training per month, beginning no later than September 2026. Core topics include managing organizational change, task ownership, manager mindset, delegation, modern management tools, and personality assessments such as Emergenetics or DISC, with additional focus on emotional intelligence and transitioning from individual contributor to manager. All materials and platforms must fully comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards as defined by Colorado Technical Standard TS-OEA-002, and the vendor must indemnify the State against any legal claims arising from non-compliance. Training content, including all modules, surveys, and reports, becomes the sole property of the State upon delivery. Responses must be submitted electronically via the BidNet Digital portal by 5:00 PM Mountain Time on July 23, 2026, with a duplicate sent by email to the designated buyer. Vendors are required to provide their VSS customer ID and Federal Employer Identification Number, disclose whether any work will be performed outside Colorado or the United States, and certify they are not using equipment or services from prohibited telecommunications or video surveillance vendors such as Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, Dahua, or Hytera. A current certificate of insurance and valid Colorado business registration are mandatory prior to contract execution. The contract will be awarded using a trade-off process, where price is the primary consideration but technical quality, demonstrated capabilities, and timeliness may be factored in. Payment is net 45 days from receipt of a valid invoice, and no options for contract extension are provided. The vendor must not issue any public announcements regarding the contract without prior written approval from the State. No formal COR, COTR, or PCO roles are designated, and Jamie Robledo serves as the sole point of contact for procurement matters. All deliverables must be accessible from standard OIT laptops and include interactive elements such as breakout rooms, polls, and digital whiteboards, with attendance and feedback tracked via the State’s SOC Learns LMS.
