Staff Safety Training
The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) is seeking a contractor to provide a commercial off-the-shelf Staff Safety Training Program designed to enhance the safety of Community Supervision Officers. The training will be hands-on, live instructor-led, and classroom-style, covering critical safety competencies including situational awareness, de-escalation techniques, self-defense, use of force continuum, OC spray deployment, first aid, and critical incident response. CSOSA requires contractors to possess NAICS code 611699 (Self-defense instruction and other miscellaneous schools and instruction) and demonstrate capability to deliver the described services as outlined in the draft Statement of Work. This is a Sources Sought announcement only, meaning a formal Request for Quotation is not yet available, and the government has not committed to awarding any contracts at this time. Interested parties should submit responses by January 5, 2026, although the government has not finalized its acquisition strategy or established a firm solicitation date.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, making it available to small businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOSB), 8(a) firms, HUBZone businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB). The government is contemplating a fixed-price award structured as either an open market purchase order or a General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule task order. The contract will span a 12-month base period with two optional 12-month extension periods, requiring the contractor to deliver one three-day Train-the-Trainer course for 24 staff and seven back-to-back training sessions for 280 front-line personnel during the base year, with 40 staff per session organized into four teams of ten. All training will be conducted in the Washington, DC Metro area at a government-furnished facility within a 50-mile radius of CSOSA headquarters. The same training scope is expected to repeat during each option period, providing potential for significant contract longevity.
