Training Exercise and Lessons Learned (TELL)

The Training Exercise and Lessons Learned (TELL) Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (HHS ASPR), provides comprehensive research, training, and analytical support services across federal government agencies. The contract focuses on delivering training exercise materials, course development, lessons learned documentation, and related programmatic support services. These services are designed to enhance preparedness and response capabilities, particularly in national security, defense, and emergency management contexts.

The task orders under this IDIQ predominantly feature firm fixed price and labor hour pricing mechanisms, with contract values ranging from approximately $21,000 to nearly $3 million. The CNA Corporation has been the most frequent prime contractor, winning multiple task orders for training exercise and lessons learned services. Constant And Associates, a woman-owned small business, has also been awarded contracts under this vehicle. The task orders consistently support HHS ASPR's preparedness and emergency response programs, covering activities such as exercise support, course material development, policy support, and technical assistance. No specific small business set-aside designations were consistently applied across the task orders, and the contract appears to support work primarily in locations associated with federal agency operations.
