a. Tailored training is any training that falls outside of "regularly scheduled," "off-the-shelf," or "priced the same for everyone.” The following are indicators of tailored training:

1) Creating a new training course.

2) Adding terms and conditions to a regularly scheduled, COTS training event.

3) Taking an existing course and tailoring it to be agency-specific (e.g., mission, regulations, policies, personnel, etc.).

4) Materials and content are tailored specific to the agency.

5) Typically requires a detailed Statement of Work (SOW) and review/acceptance of deliverable.

b. If the Government has a need for tailored training or tailored training materials, the requirement must be placed on a Government contract by a warranted Contracting Officer. See DoD Charge Card Guidebook A.1.3. The GPC may be used as the payment method but not the procurement method. A CH must never sign any vendor written terms and conditions that would financially bind the Government without proper authority.
