RMWDA Sponsorship Events

The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, Division of Employment and Training, is procuring sponsorship services from the Rocky Mountain Workforce Development Association (RMWDA) through a sole source award authorized under §24-103-205, C.R.S., with no competitive solicitation process. The contract supports the planning, coordination, and execution of key workforce development events across Colorado, including the Director’s Retreat, Implementation Summit, Think Big Youth Conference, Career Services Training Summit, WIOA and Performance Measures Training, Apprenticeship Awards, and out-of-state training opportunities. All activities are centered in Denver, CO, with statewide reach, and no specific delivery or performance dates are defined beyond alignment with Fiscal Year 2027 timelines. The procurement contains no pricing details, estimated contract value, or line-item cost breakdowns, and no standard contract type such as FFP or IDIQ is specified, instead being classified as a sponsorship agreement. Submission of responses is required exclusively via email to Joel Knotts and Naomi St. John by May 30, 2026, with no formal proposal format, page limits, or file type requirements outlined. The contracting office is located in Denver, CO 80202, and while contacts are listed for buyer and issuing office roles, no Contracting Officer Representative, COTR, or PCO is formally designated. No FAR clauses, evaluation factors, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, or certifications such as UEI, size status, or socioeconomic designations are included in the solicitation, and no attachments are formally enumerated despite reference to a sole source justification document. Payment procedures, invoicing methods, accounting codes (AAC, TAS, ACRN), and FOB terms are also not specified, reflecting a streamlined, non-competitive administrative arrangement focused on event coordination rather than technical or logistical delivery.
