Online Training Management System

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is seeking a cloud-based Online Training Management System to support its Law Enforcement division in meeting state-mandated training requirements set by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE). The system must accommodate up to 700 users with 24/7 web and mobile access via iOS and Android applications, enabling comprehensive tracking of training schedules, evaluations, compliance reporting, and secure file storage. The contractor must deliver a fully functional platform that adheres to 34 Texas Administrative Code §20.115 and TCOLE standards, supported by a dedicated customer service representative with strict service-level agreements requiring a four-hour response for high-priority issues and 24-hour response for standard requests. The contract has a base performance period from June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027, with the possibility of two one-year renewals and potential 12-month extensions under mutual agreement or force majeure conditions. Delivery is to occur at TPWD’s designated location in Austin, Texas, with FOB destination, freight prepaid and allowed terms. Evaluation and award will be based on a trade-off process weighing three factors equally: compensation and fees at 40%, past performance, qualifications, and experience at 40%, and technical proposal at 20%. Pricing must be submitted in Exhibit B, though no dollar amounts are provided in the solicitation, and all financial data submitted will be used in the cost evaluation. Past performance will be assessed on a pass/fail basis, and failure in this area or in a facility/equipment inspection may result in disqualification. Offerors must submit five required exhibits: execution of offer, compensation schedule, company profile, past projects with references, and a technically detailed proposal with numbered responses. Additional non-negotiable requirements include HUB compliance, E-Verify usage, certification of no boycotts or discrimination against firearms or energy sectors, disclosure of ownership interests over 25% including Social Security Numbers, and adherence to strict confidentiality, data security, and ethical conduct standards. The contract prohibits assignment without consent, mandates compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act and child support obligations, and grants TPWD audit rights. Proposals must be submitted electronically via email or hard copy by the deadline, with no cloud links or fax submissions accepted, and must reference solicitation number 802-26-74062. No federal FAR clauses apply; the solicitation adheres to Texas state procurement laws
