National Capitol Region

1.0 BACKGROUND

As mandated by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) UOF Policy, all Border Patrol Agents (BPA’s) are required to train in all assigned Less Lethal devices (minimum of one) and defensive tactics as well as qualify quarterly with their assigned handguns, rifles, and shotguns. This is accomplished during an 8-hour training day, to include classroom exercises, mat room training of approved hands-on defensive tactics and less lethal devices and tactics as well as the actual firing of the weapons and less lethal devices on approved courses of fire. Operational tempo and workload demand of headquarter personnel in the national capitol region (NCR) restrict agents’ ability to attend Use of Force training more than 1 day per quarter. This enforces the need for a facility that is capable of meeting all of our Use of Force training mandates, in the same location, and on the same day.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

This is for the exclusive access of USBP agents to use an indoor training facility to include firearms and less lethal training during a continuous 8-hour period. Access is needed 30 minutes prior to the scheduled training day which is between the hours of 7 am to 3 pm and 30 minutes after.

The USBP provides the training to its agents on a quarterly basis in a fiscal year using its own instructors:

Quarter one (1) - October through December Quarter two (2) - January through March Quarter three (3) - April through June Quarter four (4) - July through September

This contract seeks to provide training days during the workweek. A minimum of 15 days per established quarter but may exercise additional days per quarter. Scheduling of training days will be based on an average of one day a week for 52 weeks a year.

Scheduling of dates are amendable to more than one to two training days a week, but no more than three days in any one week per month in a quarter. Scheduling of the training dates must be established within a minimum of 6 months advance of the training date.

Scheduling is preferred one year in advance.

U.S. Border Patrol Use of Force Training Branch Page 2 of 6

Less lethal training and Firearms training are conducted simultaneously, in the same facility, during the training day. A typical group is 24 students. The group of students is split into two (12 each) groups with one going to firearms training and the other to less lethal training, each for half the day and then exchanging for the second half of the day.

The firing range, classroom, mat room, scenario area, 24-hour/7 days a week training supply storage, 24-hour/7 days a week secure ammunition area 4 feet wide by 8 feet long with normal ceiling height and an area for a large USBP provided gun safe and supplies as defined in this SOW, and cleaning areas must be co-located within the same facility.

Less Lethal Training Area Less lethal training is conducted during the same training day as firearms training and must include a padded mat room or a padded area suitable for conducting defensive tactics on the ground. The area must accommodate at least 12 people for instructing, e.g., 16 feet by 25 feet.

A separate classroom for presentations and academic testing instruction outside the firing range area is required, and/or an area to make safe and clean weapons during the day is also required if not accessible on the firing range.

Firing Range and Training Area Must have a minimum of twelve shooting lanes and all twelve lanes must be able to be fired on simultaneously from 25 yards up to 1.5 yards with students standing static on the firing line. Scheduled access for one quarter to at least a minimum of a 50-yard shooting range. If access to a 100-yard is available, please list its availability and/or cost/inclusion in the offering. The range areas must be able to provide a safe venue for conducting the courses of fire and instruction.

During the same training dates at least one “Quarter” in the year, scheduled access to a scenario-based training area such as a shoot house, walled structure in which Simunitions or paint ball rounds can be fired, single or multi story is acceptable.
