The scope includes knowledge management, training analysis and consulting, and learning resource management functions. Key officials overseeing this process are Leslie Norwalk as the Competitive Sourcing Official, Brenda Sykes as the Agency Tender Official, and Bill Tate as the Contracting Officer. The solicitation, identified by Reference-Number-CMS-A-76-04, was posted on March 26, 2004, and falls under NAICS code 541612. CMS plans to announce the cost comparison decision around June 24, 2004.
