- Description
- The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office of Training and Career Development Division (TCDD) requires online Language Learning Services. TCDD requires an on-line self-paced language learning service that is easy to use and provides the opportunity for USCIS employees to utilize personal time and equipment to build their language skills. This language learning service has the potential to reach approximately 12,000 USCIS employees and it estimated that thirty percent of the USCIS population might utilize this service. The Government wishes to explore transitioning from a license based externally hosted product where access is controlled by a specific number of licenses and requires account management by USCIS personnel, to an externally hosted language service that is commercially available, configurable for self-managing access, scalable and flexible. Interested vendors please provide commercially available information to address the above in the following scenarios: 1.1. Enterprise Access - For all personnel (USCIS Staff would have open access to the service and accounts would be self-managed via self-registration) 1.2. Percent of population Access - Only a certain number of users could be logged in at one time and accounts are self-managed via self-registration 1.3. Actual Use - Charges incurred only on actual use of the services and accounts are self managed via self-registration 1.4. Any other commercially available scenario to address the above future state. The on-line language catalog shall include at a minimum the following 29 languages: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Dari, Dutch, English (As a second language), Filipino (Tagalog), French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Pashto, Persian (Farsi), Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish (Latin America), Spanish (Spain), Swahili, Swedish, Turkish, Urdu, Vietnamese.
