Training Support for Costing Practices and Rate Development for University Research, Core Facilities

Oklahoma State University is seeking an experienced consulting firm to design, develop, validate, and deliver a comprehensive training program for its research core facilities. The effort includes a current‑state assessment, creation of role‑based curricula, development of tools and templates for budgeting and rate‑development, and implementation support to integrate the materials into OSU’s training platforms. The work must align with federal regulations such as 2 CFR Part 200, FAR/DFAR, Cost Accounting Standards, and the Truthful Cost or Pricing Data Statute. The contract runs through the end of 2027 with optional one‑year extensions. • Conduct a detailed assessment of existing OSU policies, workflows, and rate files. • Produce training curricula, facilitator guides, recorded modules, and practical tools (templates, checklists, decision trees). • Deliver implementation support, including integration with OSU’s on‑demand training system and a “train‑the‑trainer” component. • Create a complete rate‑development documentation package (workbooks, approval forms, sample packets, and annual review templates).
