INFORMATION FOR ORDERING ACTIVITIES


APPLICABLE TO ALL SPECIAL ITEM NUMBERS

SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES: Small Business Participation


SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Supply
Schedules Program. To enhance Small Business Participation SBA policy allows agencies to
include in their procurement base and goals, the dollar value of orders expected to be placed
against the Federal Supply Schedules, and to report accomplishments against these goals.
For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the
catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available
information by using the GSA Advantage! on-line shopping service (www.fss.gsa.gov). The
catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage! and the Federal Supply Service Home Page
(www.fss.gsa.gov) contain information on a broad array of products and services offered by small
business concerns.
This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting or exceeding
established small business goals. It should also be used as a tool to assist in including small,
small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses among those considered when
selecting pricelists for a best value determination.
For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small
business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their
requirement.

Blackhawk/SQLSoft Consulting Group

Page 7 of

April 13, 2006

The Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in excess of $2,000 to
which the United States or the District of Columbia is a party for construction, alteration, or
repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works with the United
States, shall contain a clause that no laborer or mechanic employed directly upon the site of the
work shall received less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor.
The requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act do not apply if the construction work is incidental to
the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or services. For example, the requirements do not apply to
simple installation or alteration of a public building or public work that is incidental to furnishing
supplies or equipment under a supply contract. However, if the construction, alteration or repair
is segregable and exceeds $2,000, then the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act applies.
The ordering activity issuing the task order against this contract will be responsible for proper
administration and enforcement of the Federal labor standards covered by the Davis-Bacon Act.
The proper Davis-Bacon wage determination will be issued by the ordering activity at the time a

Course Descriptoin
This course provides the necessary foundation to deploy and administer Citrix
Presentation Server 4.0. This course covers installation and administration of
Presentation Server and its components, including Web Interface, Secure Gateway,
Installation Manager and Load Manager. Learners receive in-depth training using
the Citrix Presentation Server Console to configure server farm and individual
server settings and the Citrix Access Suite Console to manage multiple farms. In
addition, this course provides training for managing, implementing and deploying
the Citrix Presentation Server Clients. This instructor-led training course provides
interactive presentations, discussion and practical application through hands-on
labs and group activities.
This 5-day course is designed to give SharePoint Administrators basic and
intermediate information and skills they need to design, deploy and manage a
Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 implementation.
It is nearly impossible to introduce all of the SharePoint features into an
organization without impacting the business culture and current business
processes. While the Summit is not a project management course per se, we will
highlight planning decisions that should be addressed either before or early on in a
SharePoint deployment. Most of these decisions will impact your organizations
business processes. Because most mid- and upper-level technical employees are
ill-equipped to manage culture change, it is in your organizations best interest to
send a second, managerial-level person to this Summit to gain insight into how this
software will change your business process and business culture through learning
about the planning decisions that should be addressed as part of an outstanding
SharePoint deployment.
This 5-day course will focus on how to alter the underpinnings and exploit Windows
SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server 2003 for application developers.
Be sure to check out the prerequisites as we technically wade in pretty deep.
This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience and learn about SharePoint
Portal Server 2003 and Windows SharePoint Services.
We provide an overview of SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) and Windows
SharePoint Services (WSS). The more you understand about SharePoint out-ofthe-box, the easier it will be for you to bend those rules. That said, it is by no means
required that you be SharePoint savvy.

As with all SQLSoft-hosted courses, SQLSoft+ provides a functioning training


environment that includes the appropriate computer hardware and all necessary
software. Optional: Students are welcome and encouraged to bring one or more
computers to the class if they wish to use the class as a five-day test environment
as part of an early testing phase in their overall deployment of SharePoint.
This course covers the use of ANSI-standard SQL, Oracle extensions to ANSI SQL,
and Oracle's SQL*Plus SQL interface.

workplace. During the class attendees will be introduced to the essentials of
technical project management with focus on managing complex requirements,
limited resources found in many organizations.
This course applies tools sets and methodologies for organizations that desire to
promote project management concepts, thinking and techniques within their
organizations: The materials are drawn from the PMBOK (Project Management
Body of Knowledge) but also include industry best practices. The course also
includes topics on using Microsoft Project as a project management tool.
Project management is the discipline of applying knowledge, skills, tools, and
techniques to a range of activities in order to successfully meet a projects
requirements, scope, schedule and budget. This course uses the structured project
management framework of initiation, planning, execution, and control to familiarize
the student with the necessary steps that ensure project success.
This one-day course teaches people how to transfer knowledge on the job. It works
with the idea that people learn most of what it takes to do their job from a peer
working nearby. The course provides practical tools and straight forward language
that can be used to improve communication and reduce frustration. It helps
subject matter experts set goals for mentoring co-workers, organize the information
that needs to be delivered, teach it, assess whether it is learned, and then give
feedback on the process, all while carrying a full-time workload.
Topics covered include defining the role of peer mentoring, setting goals, handling
day to day communication, lesson/meeting planning, teaching, assessing
knowledge transfer, learning styles, and giving peer appropriate feedback.
Project management is the discipline of applying knowledge, skills, tools, and
techniques to a range of activities to successfully meet a project's requirements,
scope, schedule and budget. This course uses the structured project management
framework of initiation, planning, execution, and control to familiarize the student
with the necessary steps that assure project success.
This course is designed for those who are establishing standards of use with
Microsoft Project for an organization or department where uniform information
needs to be collected to track resource overallocation, key deliverables and project
status slippage. This class will show the attendee how to create Project Portfolio
visibility standards and reports for any organization.
This hands-on class provides Project Server Administrators with the skills and
knowledge they need to successfully administer Project Server to successfully
install, configure, deploy and troubleshoot Project Server and its interconnected
components.
During this course, students will learn about deployment strategies for workgroups
and the enterprise. The will also learn about Project Server architecture, SharePoint
integration, configuration and installation and developing the Enterprise Project
Management environment.
Project Server is a powerful enterprise project management tool that allows
organizations to freely share information about the progress of any enterprise
project. Project server is implemented at the enterprise level, so project information
is shared and project views are available for all enterprise roles. Executives have a
tool for analyzing and prioritizing projects. Project Team members can better
manage tasks assigned to them, Project Mangers can manage schedules and
resources more efficiently as well as communicate project information using Web

access.
This hands-on class provides project managers and team leads with the knowledge
to build, manage, and track project schedules in both Project Professional as well
as Project Server where both are required to work in Microsoft Project Server.
During this course students will learn about scheduling industry best practices and
methodology for building and managing teams, stakeholders, executives and other
project managers using the Project Server architecture and Windows SharePoint
integration.
Most large companies and organizations that rely heavily on software in business
operations, employ Business Analysts to communicate business needs to software
developers. When analysts do not carry out their jobs effectively, the result is
incomplete or incorrect requirements -- leading causes of spiraling development
costs and project delays.
Learn how to cut costs and delays by improving communication between business
stakeholders and developers through comprehensive requirements analysis and
documentation and by guaranteeing results through structured testing and quality
assurance. This 2-day course will cover all aspects of the Business Analyst role
from requirements gathering to testing. All major techniques both Structured and
Object-Oriented (OO) are addressed in this course. You will receive a hard copy
of all course material as well as a Job Aids booklet, containing useful templates,
examples, guidelines and glossary for use back on the job.

What makes this course stand out from the competition?


Value for money: No course on the market offers this amount of content in so little
time. How can we do this? By removing all of the "fat" traditionally found in BA
courses.
Unique learning strategy: Each unit is presented first as a lecture, then reinforced
through self-paced learning using our CBT program. During the second phase of
learning, the instructor is available for 1-on-1 help.
Scenario-based training: One integrated case study is used throughout the course
to provide a consistent context for learning.
Experience: Our course is written and delivered by professionals with extensive
practical experience in business analysis.
The fun factor: Our instructors are known for the "entertainment value" they bring to
the classroom making the learning experience more fun and more effective.
Use Case Technology was developed in 1992 to improve the business analysis
phase of a project. Over the years since its introduction, the approach has gained
wide acceptance due to its proven track record in capturing clear and complete
user requirements. One of the factors driving the growth of Use Case Technology
has been its incorporation into UML and Object-Orientationthe state-of-the-art
technology behind e-commerce software, JAVA and the .NET environment.
Organizations that are insufficiently prepared for the new technology, commonly
encounter the following problems when employing it for the first time:
Projects abandoned because they weren't good candidates for use cases
Confusion about how best to split the requirements up into use cases
Confusion over the role of text vs. diagrams

Course Descriptoin
Confusion over the level of detail to include in the written requirements
Lack of practical advice for running requirements-gathering sessions
Take this 2-day course for solutions to the above problems and for practical
experience in employing this state-of-the-art technology to the business analysis
phase of a project. You'll get hand-on experience in gathering and documenting
user requirements for IT systems using the use case approach and the UML 2.0
standard including business modeling extensions. Working in small groups, you will
step through a complex case study, learning to take a project from inception to the
completion of business requirements. The result of this experiential learning
experience is a skill-set that can be effectively applied on the job. In keeping with
the practical nature of the course, the content course draws from direct experience
working in a variety of sectors, including banking, accounting, call centers,
education and NGOs. Best practices and common pitfalls in applying these
techniques are factored into the course.
By taking this course, you will be able to facilitate Use-Case RJAD (Requirements
Joint Application Development) sessions, conduct requirements-gathering
interviews and document user requirements using the latest developments in Use
Case Technology. You will also learn how to best structure the requirements for
optimal reuse and ease of maintenance through the use of advanced use case
diagramming and documentation features such as extensions and inclusions.
Solutions for handling common business scenarios are also covered, including
customer IVR identification, CRUD (Create/Read/Update/Delete processes), login,
technological variations, customer self-service and geographical sub-sites within an
e-commerce application.
In an effort to shorten time-to-market and to uncover bugs early, IT organizations
are increasingly using a style of project management called iterative development.
The new strategy is to develop software in small cycles of analysis, design and
coding - rather than doing all the up-front work before coding begins. To work
effectively in this environment, Business Analysts need to be familiar with the
fundamentals of this approach and the BA role in producing key deliverables,
managing risk and estimating resources for an iterative project. This 2-day course
covers everything the Business Analyst needs to know to work effectively within a
team employing iterative development as a project management methodology.
Working in small groups, you will step through a case study learning when and how
to perform BA activities and create deliverables at various phases of the iterative
life cycle. You will also gain hands-on computer experience using RUP software - a
popular iterative methodology produced by IBM/ Rational.

This seminar teaches you how to identify queries that need tuning and how to tune
them. The seminar starts by describing in detail a query tuning methodology
developed by Solid Quality Learning and practiced in production systems. You will
learn how to identify the bottlenecks in the system and the processes/queries that
need to be tuned. Once those were identified, the actual tuning process starts. The
seminar covers in detail tools to analyze and tune queries, internal structures, index
tuning, index access methods, index optimization scale, query revisions, preparing
sample data, set-based vs. iterative solutions and tuning examples.
