Learning Tree Awarded FAC-P/PM Training Contract Worth up to $60 Million by Department of Veterans Affairs

With this contract, the VA has taken the lead to dramatically improve the management of its programs and projects, meet increased demands, and improve accountability. The VA's ultimate goal is the timely development and deployment of information systems that more effectively serve the nation's veterans. In a competitive solicitation, the VA selected the performance solution designed by Learning Tree to support this endeavor. The contract includes a base year and four option years, with a total value of up to $60 million. Learning Tree estimates revenues of between $10 and $15 million for the contract's base year. Training under this contract began February 22, 2010.

Don Berbary, President of Reston, Virginia-based Learning Tree International USA, Inc., said, "Learning Tree is pleased to be awarded this contract to deliver our FAC-P/PM training solution which we designed and developed to address the specific needs of the federal acquisition workforce across the entry, journeyman and senior/expert competency levels. Our approach was guided by a senior Federal Executive Board made up of former government executives and experienced Learning Tree subject- matter experts. With the award of the VA contract, Learning Tree has further established itself as a leading training partner for the Federal Government in its efforts to ensure compliance with the FAC-P/PM mandate to improve accountability and performance on federal capital investments."

Learning Tree has awarded subcontracts to Grant Thornton of Alexandria, Virginia and Element K of Rochester, New York for certain tasks under this contract.
