This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for Technical Instructor Services for Physical Surveillance Basic and Advanced Courses at the Midwest Counterdrug Training Center (MCTC), located at Camp Dodge Joint Maneuver Training Center in Johnston, Iowa. The contract involves designing, developing, and instructing two separate surveillance courses for law enforcement officers focused on counternarcotics and counter-transnational organized crime operations. The performance period consists of one 12-month base period with five course iterations, followed by four optional 12-month periods with up to ten course iterations each, with dates and locations determined by MCTC based on law enforcement training requests.

The contractor must provide all personnel, equipment, materials, and supervision necessary for course delivery. Each course accommodates up to 24 law enforcement officers over a minimum of 36 instructional hours across five class days. The Basic Course covers 16 core topics including tactical operation preparation, surveillance reports, legal restrictions, driving tactics, concealment techniques, situational operations, environmental methodologies, de-confliction, confrontation procedures, suspect apprehension, and takedown techniques. The Advanced Course builds on the Basic Course, emphasizing counter-surveillance methods used by drug trafficking organizations, terrorists, and criminal groups, covering topics such as surveillance on trafficking networks and gangs, counter-surveillance detection and deterrence, tactical planning, reconnaissance, and legal restrictions. The contractor must furnish student manuals (hard copy, professionally bound with MCTC logo), presentation slides in PowerPoint format with embedded videos in Windows Media Player, pre-tests and post-tests (written or practical), and practical exercises that simulate real surveillance scenarios. The contractor must provide all materials and equipment including radios and props for exercises, with all expenses (travel, lodging, meals, printing, equipment) borne by the contractor and included in the firm fixed price. Instructor qualifications require a minimum of 15 years total law enforcement experience including 10 years as a civilian narcotics officer, plus five years of experience teaching physical surveillance courses to civilian law enforcement. Offerors must demonstrate prior experience designing and delivering similar surveillance courses to law enforcement at the local, state, or federal level and be currently engaged in training law enforcement on physical surveillance. Services are performed at MCTC facilities between 0700-1700 hours Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays and facility closures. The Government furnishes workspace, classroom facilities with adequate size, Audio-Visual equipment, and utilities. Performance standards require 75% average or higher on student course evaluations, 100% coverage of course topics, 100% administration of pre- and post-tests, and incorporation of practical exercises. The contractor must provide a deconfliction report at least seven days prior to each course iteration containing vehicle, personnel, and location information for practical exercises, and a list of non-instructor role players 14 days prior to each iteration.

FOR

Technical Instructor Services

Physical Surveillance Basic and Advanced Course

1.0 General:

1.1 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, except as specified in Paragraph 3.0 as Government Furnished, to design, develop and instruct a Basic and Advanced Physical Surveillance Course for the Midwest Counterdrug Training Center (MCTC), as defined in this PWS.

1.2 Background: Midwest Counterdrug Training Center Overview. The MCTC is one of five (5) National Guard Counterdrug training programs that provides relevant curriculum focused on counternarcotics and counter transnational organized crime (CTOC). MCTC is located at the Camp Dodge Joint Maneuver Training Center (CDJMTC) in Johnston, Iowa, and features state of the art classrooms and tactical training environments. With a training region that encompasses major international trafficking routes and national border ports of entry, MCTC’s courses strive to impact the illicit flow of drugs throughout the nation. MCTC provides courses that support National Drug Control Strategies and positively impact the performance of Federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies (LEA), community based organizations (CBO), and military professionals directly involved in counternarcotics missions. MCTC’s emphasis remains state and local law enforcement officers. Course curriculum focuses on illicit narcotics interdiction, disruption of drug trafficking organizations, intelligence and analysis, narco-terrorism, homeland security, civil operations, and anti-drug coalition fundamentals. Each course is designed to support the objectives of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Counternarcotics and Global Threats (DASD-CN), Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), National Northern Border, National Southwest Border, and Caribbean Border counternarcotics strategies and to increase national security. MCTC supports federal, state, and local agencies with current and relevant training, maximized by the experiences of subject matter experts in their fields. All training events are designed to not only offer world class instruction, but to break down jurisdictional barriers and offer a unique opportunity for officials across the law enforcement and prevention spectrum to network and share ideas in person.

1.3 Periods of Performance (PoP): The Periods of Performance shall be one (1) Base Period of 12 months, and four (4) 12-month option periods with dates and locations of each course iteration to be determined by MCTC. Base period will include five (5) course iterations. Each option period will include up to ten (10) course iterations, dependent on funding and need determined by MCTC.

1.4 General Information:

1.4.1 Place and Performance of Services: The contractor shall, with some exceptions, provide services between the hours of 0700-1700 on Monday through Friday, except on recognized US holidays or when the Government facility/installation is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government-directed facility/installation closings. Performance shall be conducted within the MCTC service area, which covers the 54 states and territories, and class iterations may be conducted at any location within this area. Approximately 1/3 of course iterations are conducted at the MCTC main campus at Camp Dodge, Johnston, Iowa; the remainder are conducted at other locations within the MCTC service area. The contractor shall at all times maintain an adequate workforce for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this PWS when the Government facility/installation is not closed for the above reasons. When hiring personnel, the contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the workforce are essential.

1.4.1.1 Telework: The Government does not permit the contractor to telework in support of this requirement. In furtherance of Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP), a telework program may be enacted to ensure that the Government's mission-critical operations stay operational during times of national emergency or incidents of national significance. Telework shall be at no additional cost to the Government. The course’s effectiveness relies on face-to-face interaction, hands-on activities, and real-time demonstrations, all of which are integral to the learning objectives and cannot be replicated through telework. Distance Learning (DL) blocks of instruction shall be used for this course at the Government’s discretion. The course should be scalable to a distance learning environment with no change in content. DL instruction shall be conducted/broadcast from the MCTC campus in Johnston, IA, unless the MCTC schedules otherwise.

1.4.1.2 Unscheduled gate closures by the Security Police may occur at any time causing all personnel entering or exiting a closed installation to experience a delay.
