Matlab Training

The U.S. Army Contracting Command – New Jersey, on behalf of U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command - Armaments Center (DEVCOM-AC) is issuing this sources sought notice as a means of conducting market research to identify potential sources interested in providing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Matlab training courses via Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs).

BPAs establish an agreement between a government buyer and a contractor to fill repetitive needs for supplies or services. The Blanket Purchase Agreement does not obligate any funds. The government shall be obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases actually made via a properly executed BPA Call Orders, Contract Ordering Official Cardholder (COOC) orders, and Government Purchase Card (GPC) orders under these agreements. It is anticipated that the majority of orders placed against these BPAs will be via GPC.

DEVCOM AC technical employees utilize the Matlab software for data analysis. Training is needed for employees to become proficient in using this software. The courses will be instructed to an audience of mainly engineers, scientists, and technical personnel. The provider will host online training on MS-Teams, Zoom or other secure government-authorized meeting platforms. If there is a rare need for on-site training, DEVCOM AC will provide appropriate facilities for in-person training to be held on-site at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey.

The training shall include but may not be limited to the following types of Matlab courses:

• Fundamentals of Matlab


• Programming Techniques using Matlab


• Machine Learning with Matlab


• Deep Learning with Matlab


• Matlab Data Processing & Visualization


• Other commercially available Matlab courses may be requested depending upon the need

The required training will be held predominately online with occasional requests for on-site in-person training at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ. The courses must be instructed by a live instructor with approximate start and end times of 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in the Eastern Time Zone. The courses should provide participants with the ability to use the Creo program for the subject matter presented. DEVCOM-AC employees will have the use of computers to do online training and will have the Matlab program installed on their machines. The training should be interactive instruction with students’ needs and capabilities regularly checked on.

The vendor shall provide the Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) with an agenda for each course that incorporates the learning objectives as well as the instructor’s approach to the training. Upon successful completion of the course, the vendor shall provide each participant with a Certificate of Completion. The vendor shall also provide attendance data to TPOC no later than two (2) business days after the course has been completed.
