.. ! have some darifying questions for you here . . !f you can piease confirm (in· line comments

wouid be fine) when you can, this will help me/us with planning the needed action items and . r-commumca.!0!1Sm.

• Confirmation-As of now1 and going forward, ALL external training requests will be

considered acquisitions, correct?


• Confirmation-As a!! external tra!ning requests viii! be considered acquisitions driven by SF

182 requests, then AU. Sf-l821s will require an I.SJ regardless of the dollar. amount

correct? Further ,each LSJ wm need to be stgned by me

• Clarification-Will All l.SJ1s (for all SF-182's) need an accompanvlng Contract Coding Sheet,

or just i f they are a Supplier that we have not yet paid for a training event? Please clarify.

as Originator {or someone on TM-TeamL and you as CO,

• Clarification-If and when Contract Coding Sheets are required, each Contract: Coding Sheet

will need t o be signed by me as "Preparer" (or someone on TM-Team), and Julia Mech.mg

for "Concurrence", and Dennis Slagter a s CHCO, correct? Further, according to the form,

the. Preparer is to send to Procurement, not to Dennis S. (Approving Official} for signature,

so Procurement drives the workflow step to oermis S./CHCO for final approvals for each

Contract Coding sheet, correct?

• Question - Is there any leewav at all on completing an lSJ (and likely a CCS) on Sf·

182?. Could we. consider any blanket LSJ's, like at least for our. Open P.0.'s? ..

• Question - Can you please clarify the below reference to what wm change in a couple of

weeks {ex.. or would. LSJ's not be. needed for anything under $100!<)?

• Question Does Procurement office envision that final requirements (in place after the

next few weeks) could change in future, or should we anticipate this need on-going? l

• Question - Do you have a suggested timeframe that we should add to existing processing

time1 to process the LSJ and CCS components against their original Sf 182 request

submission, that we can advise requesters (especially if Procurement must receive a

complt:ted CS$, then manage the CHCO approval step to finalizej?

• !f there is anything that I have missed) or comes up based on my above items1 please note

it here!@

I know that this may seem like a 1ot being asked, but each one has a Resource, timing, and/or communication impact for our team, CHCO, etc. so it wrn be important to. make sure all are on same page, know full required tasks, and. know "who" does "what" .

Matt, these are not new requirements, and are what we need to go through for all normal

procurements. My understand ing was that commercial training was exempt (for a host of

reasons), but apparently they are not. Vanessa can meet wlth us by telephonef since she's out.

But there really isn't much to tell you.

1. CFPB has a Policy requiring Legal Counsel review for any non-competitive action,

irrespective of dollar value (wh ich means ALL training requests, in addition to the normal TLMS review cycles). (If you need Josh's email1 I can send it.) That's at least a

10-day review, in addit ion t o as long as Josh takes to rev!ew and forward.

2. We also have an announcement requirement {FedBizOpps) that is for anything over

$-i5K, and where we post the LSJ for at least :5 days before we can issue the

solicitationicontract. So far, we have now at least 25 days before I ca n !ssue the Order.

3. What won't have much effect on the timing is the Service Coding Sheet and the Small

Business Sheet, since they are relatively internal, but again, we can't issue the Orders

until these are done.

Not good news, I know, but it is what it is . . . . So sorry. If you need help completing the LSJs1 let me know. After that, the review times are completely out of my control. (Kevin Rice is the

lead Counsel, and you're welcome to call him.)
