SECTION 4

STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES/INTRODUCTION

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) has undertaken the P4000 program to address the insufficient number of Haitian National Police (HNP) officers and expand their capacity to address the extreme levels of urban violence. To address the escalating threat posed by illegal gangs and support the re-establishment of state security, there is an urgent requirement for the HNP to develop foundation and specialized capabilities including tactical planning, movement and operations, urban policing and command, control and coordination. An enhanced urban operations training program will deliver standardized, high-quality and internationally developed tactical training to HNP recruits to improve their operational effectiveness in complex urban environments, strengthen their ability to counter organized criminal groups, and enable the safe, lawful, and coordinated conduct of security operations.

SCOPE OF WORK

The vendor will deliver a comprehensive six-week Tactical Operations in Urban Terrain training program to augment the INL P4000 Program's support to the HNP. The training will be integrated into the existing HNP recruit curriculum during weeks 9-14 of the basic training course and delivered to three consecutive recruit courses (Courses 37, 38, and 39), with each course comprising approximately 1,200 recruits organized into six companies of 200 recruits each. The vendor shall deploy a training team consisting of project oversight and international instructors, supported by HNP instructors and Language Assistants, to deliver six sequential training modules: (1) Weapons Handling and Individual Movement Techniques; (2) Squad-Level Formations, Urban Patrolling, and Cordon Operations; (3) Room Clearance and Defensive Position Fortification; (4) Vehicle Checkpoints and Search Procedures; (5) Pistol Training and Qualification; and (6) Rifle Training and Qualification.

The vendor shall conduct pre- and post-training assessments, weekly summative evaluations, and weapons qualification testing for all recruits. The vendor shall coordinate closely with HNP leadership and INL representatives through weekly planning meetings and monthly stakeholder coordination sessions, maintain comprehensive safety protocols including Range Action Safety Plans, and provide After Action Reviews and lessons learned documentation following each training rotation. All training delivery shall incorporate human rights awareness, Rules of Engagement, International Humanitarian Law principles, and safeguarding protocols in accordance with Department of State requirements.

The vendor will complete three consecutive recruit courses, with each course comprising approximately 1,200 recruits organized into six companies of 200 recruits during the Period of Performance (one year).

Phase 1: Inception Phase

The vendor will finalize and contextualize the six-week urban operations training curriculum for immediate deployment on Courses 37, 38, and 39. This work shall entail the following:

• Complete all remaining lesson specifications, translate materials into Creole, and adapt practical scenarios to the Haitian operational context.

• Conduct a project kickoff meeting with INL and HNP representatives to review the delivery model, training content, coordination procedures, and operational support requirements.

• Establish weekly coordination mechanisms with École Nationale de Police (ENP) instructors to ensure prerequisite skills alignment between the existing curriculum and the urban operations training modules.

• Finalize selection of HNP instructors from the previously trained Instructor Development Cadre (IDC) and recruit Language Assistants.

• Deploy the project manager and training manager to Port-au-Prince to establish in-country operations, conduct health, safety and security assessments, and prepare for international instructor team arrival.

• Conduct site coordination with HNP to confirm training facility access, range availability, weapons and ammunition allocation, and logistical support arrangements including housing and food service for the training team.

Phase 2: Implementation Phase

The vendor will design a 6-week urban operations program for immediate use on Courses 37, 38 and 39. Vendor will deploy international instructors with extensive and relevant operational and training experience who can deploy rapidly and integrate effectively with HNP personnel and local training structures. Vendor personnel will be supported by pre-identified HNP instructors who have been hand-selected and screened from previous delivery of the HNP IDC in December 2025.

The proposed training intervention is designed to complement and enhance the existing HNP recruit training system by building on foundational policing skills and addressing identified capability gaps linked to the current security environment. It will integrate seamlessly with the existing HNP curriculum, reinforcing core competencies and foundation drills to emphasize basic tactical requirements while introducing standardized, scenario-based urban operations training that prepares recruits for high-risk, gang-affected settings. By aligning with HNP training structures and co-delivering instruction with local HNP trainers, the program strengthens current systems. Weeks 1-8 will be HNP –led training, while weeks 9-14 will be the selected vendor Tactic courses, finally weeks 15-18 will be HNP-led training.

The vendor will deploy international instructors to Port-au-Prince one week prior to the commencement of training for each course iteration. The vendor will deliver the six-week training program according to the following structure:

Week 9 of Tactics 1 Training (Project Week 1): Companies 1-2 conduct Range training;

Companies 3-6 conduct Tactics 1 (Weapons Handling and Individual Movement Techniques);

Week 10 (Project Week 2): Companies 1-2 conduct Range training; Companies 3-6 conduct Tactics 2 (Squad-Level Formations, Urban Patrolling, and Cordon Operations);

Week 11 (Project Week 3): Companies 1-2 conduct Tactics 1; Companies 3-4 conduct Range training; Companies 5-6 conduct Tactics 3 (Room Clearance and Defensive Position Fortification);

Week 12 (Project Week 4): Companies 1-2 conduct Tactics 2; Companies 3-4 conduct Range training; Companies 5-6 conduct Tactics 4 (Vehicle Checkpoints and Search Procedures);

Week 13 (Project Week 5): Companies 1-4 conduct Tactics 3; Companies 5-6 conduct Range training;

Week 14 (Project Week 6): Companies 1-4 conduct Tactics 4; Companies 5-6 conduct Range training.

The vendor will:

• Divide each company into half-companies (Alpha and Bravo) with dedicated international instructor leads, supported by HNP instructors and Language Assistants.

• Administer pre-training assessments (multiple choice questionnaires) to all recruits upon arrival to establish baseline knowledge levels. The vendor will employ phased training methodology to build competency progressively within each training module.

• Conduct weekly summative assessments grading recruits as Highly Competent, Competent, or Not Competent, ensuring prerequisite standards are met before advancement.

• Independently assess pistol and rifle weapons handling skills and administer HNP marksmanship shooting assessments on a pass/fail basis, providing remedial training as required.

• Designate a qualified Range Conducting Officer (RCO) for all live-fire exercises and produce Range Action Safety Plans (RASP) prior to each range period. Assign dedicated Range Safety Supervisors and deliver comprehensive safety briefings to all recruits before practical exercises and live-fire activities. Maintain a Medical Plan for all range operations and brief all recruits on emergency procedures.

• Conduct weekly wash-up sessions with international instructors, HNP trainers, and Language Assistants to review performance, identify issues, and adapt training in real-time.

• Hold weekly coordination and planning meetings with ENP representatives at the conclusion of each training week to provide feedback, discuss key issues, and coordinate the following week's activities and equipment requirements. Facilitate monthly coordination and oversight meetings with ENP commanders and HNP interlocutors, with optional attendance for complementary training initiative stakeholders.

• Complete formal After Action Reviews (AAR) at the end of each training rotation and deployment, led by the Project Director. Conduct lessons learned workshops with INL following each course iteration to measure progress, capture insights, and incorporate improvements into subsequent training cycles.

• Maintain a live project Risk Register and discuss risk status with INL in weekly and monthly meetings. Monitor the security environment continuously through a dedicated Security Manager and adapt training delivery methods as required to ensure safety while maintaining continuity. Implement all safeguarding protocols including mandatory external safeguarding and "do no harm" training for all staff, anonymous reporting mechanisms, confidential victim-first handling procedures, and immediate incident reporting to INL.

Phase 3: Exit Phase

The vendor shall conduct dedicated lessons learned workshops for both HNP and INL stakeholders, ensuring insights are captured, shared, and integrated into future training and operational planning. The vendor shall prepare comprehensive project completion documentation including final After Action Review, training effectiveness analysis based on pre- and post-training assessments, and recommendations for sustained HNP training capacity. The vendor shall transfer all knowledge products and lesson materials to INL and HNP as agreed, including curriculum documentation, training aids, and assessment tools. The vendor shall conduct final stakeholder meetings with HNP leadership to review project outcomes, discuss post-handover requirements, and ensure understanding of timelines for project completion.
