Mandatory topics include occupancy classifications, egress and exit protection, occupant load, exit illumination, hazards of vertical openings, alarm and extinguishing system components, and building rehabilitation work categories. The vendor must ensure participants have lawful access to current NFPA codes and standards for study during and after the course. Delivery of all training materials is required by 15 September 2026 to 5601 Sunnyside Ave, Beltsville, MD 20705 (FOB destination), with early deliveries accepted. Award will be made to the technically acceptable offer representing best value; technical acceptability is based on meeting or exceeding all salient characteristics and providing sufficient product documentation. Price will be evaluated under FAR 12.204 for fairness and reasonableness, and offers must remain firm for 90 calendar days.
