The Performance Work Statement outlines a requirement for a contractor to deliver a data center design training and certification course at Davis-Monthan AFB for the 355th Civil Engineer Squadron. The training, scheduled for May 2025, focuses on key areas such as data center fundamentals, infrastructure design, capacity planning, efficiency, and management operations. Deliverables include a customized curriculum, comprehensive materials, hands-on labs, and an industry-recognized certification. The contractor must demonstrate proven experience, provide necessary resources, and adhere to base security regulations. Primary training goals include successful program completion and student certification. The document also specifies numerous security and operational protocols to ensure the confidentiality and protection of government information, alongside contractor personnel requirements such as professional appearance and compliant communication. This training initiative aims to enhance the technical capabilities of military personnel in managing modern data center environments effectively.

The 355 CES Data Center Design Training Course aims to establish requirements for participants seeking certification in data center design. It specifies that the course should administer the certification exam directly rather than relying on third-party providers for exam vouchers, indicating uncertainty about such arrangements. Recognized certifications discussed include CNET CDCDP, IDCA DCIP/DCEP, and BICSI DC101/102, with 355 CES seeking reputable training organizations within the industry to conduct the training and provide certification. The document also addresses the format of study materials, allowing digital or hardcopy options, but stipulating that digital resources must be compatible with commonly used government software, avoiding the need for any third-party applications. This request is part of broader federal and state efforts to enhance skills in specialized fields through structured training programs.
