Time and Cost Savings

We have the capability to design and build HRD and HRM solutions, products, and services quicker and at less cost than if your organization undertook a procurement action for the same items.

• TMA Is Quicker: because the competitive, open-market Federal procurement process has already been completed. With TMA, work can begin often within 2 weeks of contacting us.
• TMA Is Less Costly: because agencies avoid the costs associated with issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP). Open-market procurement costs for training and HRM vary, but based on our assessment of such procurements, agency costs can be as much as 20 or 25 percent of the total contract cost.

Fast, Simple Start-up

All it takes is a Statement of Objectives (SOO) [53 KB] and an Interagency Agreement (IAA) between your agency and TMA and you're on your way. When you come to TMA, we work with you to develop a SOO to help you define your needs and present a plan of action to meet those needs. You can then determine the scope and costs of the proposed TMA project and project tasks can get underway.

Management Process

Each project begins with the development of a Management Plan . A Management Plan is a document prepared by a TMA contractor for a project at the request of the TMA Project Manager. Client agencies approve Management Plans before work begins. The Management Plan:

• Describes the strategy for completing the project on time and within budget.
• Serves as a blueprint for successful project completion by specifying what will be done, by whom, when, how, and at what level of effort.
• Provides a firm, fixed price for the project.
