Carley Wins Contract with the Office of Personnel Management

September 27, 2001

Carley Corporation has been awarded a large-scale five-year indefinite quantities contract with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). OPM is mandated through Congress to provide a highly skilled, highly trained federal work force, and they provide training support to over 40 different federal agencies.

Carley was one of 18 firms selected to provide a full range of training product development and support including web-based training, instructor-led training, knowledge management and advanced distributed learning. Competition was stiff, and the demands of the contractor were stringent. Among other things, Carley had to show significant past project experience in 14 different areas, and provide four past multimedia projects that met certain criteria. Because of the rigorous requirements, Carley was one of only 3 small businesses chosen.

Carley Corporation President Sharon Wolford says she expects this contract alone to allow Carley to more than double in size in the next few years.
