    The Sacramento District of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) seeks a contractor to deliver leadership development training. This is an existing requirement, with the incumbent being Lumin Advantage Consulting. The scope entails designing and conducting three leadership programs: LDP I, LDP II, and LDP III. These programs aim to foster leadership skills across different GS levels and disciplines within the District. LDP I focuses on foundational leadership principles and is targeted at GS employees. LDP II and LDP III are advanced programs for GS employees, building on prior knowledge and experiences. Applicants for these programs are selected based on applications and recommendations, with priority given to those who have completed previous levels. The contractor should expect to conduct classes in Sacramento for small groups representing diverse roles and experience levels. The USACE encourages contractors to use their proprietary materials but must ensure the training aligns with specified learning objectives. Key dates and application processes are detailed in the PWS, with applications typically opening 2-3 months prior to each program's start date. Evaluation of proposals will consider past performance, technical approach, instructor qualifications, and price, with the contract awarded to the most highly qualified offeror.

The training sessions will take place in Sacramento, although vendors can submit proposals from elsewhere.
