SECTION C, STATEMENT OF WORK

Attachment 2: SOW

United States Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs

INL Training, Instructional Design, and Support (TIDeS)

1. Introduction: The U.S. Department of State’s, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law

Enforcement Affairs (INL) staff and partners require specialized knowledge, skills, and abilities to counter crime, illegal drugs, and instability abroad. Recent Federal Employee

Viewpoint Survey data identified a need to provide better training and development of INL staff, and a recent Training Needs Assessment of the bureau provided recommendations for doing so and ensuring training is applied on the job. Some of those recommendations can be summarized as such – INL should professionalize its training design, delivery, measurement, curriculum sustainment, and evaluation.

2. Additionally, the Bureau supports capacity building of foreign justice, law enforcement, and corrections institutions. Host nation criminal justice agencies’ staff and leadership need professional, foreign assistance-funded training as they improve their own criminal justice systems abroad. INL partners with other U.S. government agencies, state, and local criminal justice organizations, multilateral institutions, nongovernmental entities, and the private sector to provide a wide range of training, both foundational and specialized expertise, to foreign law enforcement, corrections, and justice personnel to increase their capacity to counter crime, illegal drugs, and instability abroad.

3. The purpose of this INL Training, Instructional Design, and Support (TIDeS) contract is to provide instructional services for INL’s Continuing Education and Training Division (CET).

These services shall provide INL’s staff and INL’s foreign partners with knowledge, skills, and abilities, to counter crime, illegal drugs, and instability abroad. CET requires development and sustainment of learning tools for synchronous and asynchronous training including in-person, virtual, and, hybrid training.

4. Background: The mission of the Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and

Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is to Keep Americans safe by countering crime, illegal

Attachment 2: SOW drugs, and instability abroad. INL’s Office of Knowledge Management (KM) was established in 2019 to guide INL in becoming a learning organization that continuously improves its results. KM’s mission is to continuously improve the design and implementation of U.S. counternarcotics and criminal justice assistance efforts by providing programmatic and policy guidance, expertise, and training informed by evidence and experience.

5. Situated within KM’s Continuing Education and Training Division (CET), the KM Internal Training Team (ITT) empowers INL personnel with the knowledge, skills, and values to accomplish INL’s mission and promotes INL’s learning culture. INL recognizes that training, professional development, and talent management are integral components of the success of INL programs worldwide. The ITT supports the Bureau in defining and evaluating critical behaviors and competencies for the INL workforce, and it creates, provides, and supports INL-centric training, for both domestic and overseas personnel, that is closely associated with administering and effectively managing the Bureau’s foreign assistance.

6. In July 2020, INL conducted a Training Needs Assessment (TNA) for the Bureau. Among other things, the TNA recommended that to professionalize training, INL should create comprehensive and accessible training programs; develop curricula that follows instructional systems design standards; expand its in-house training capability with facilitators and instructional systems designers; and create a social learning space that enhances collaborative learning. Also identified in the TNA were buckets of skills - technical, power, and specialized skills that INL staff should have or acquire to accomplish its mission. The TNA further identified specific topics under each bucket. INL is in the process of sustaining and professionalizing current training and is also creating new training to address these skill gaps.

7. INL/KM/CET’s State and Local Partners (SLP) program leverages the expertise of U.S criminal justice agencies and personnel to provide training, technical assistance, and mentoring support to their foreign counterparts. Experts from INL’s state and local partners serve on short-term, INL-funded international assignments to mentor and train their counterparts in cooperating countries as well as to host foreign counterparts in the United States for study tours and trainings. Training and mentorship via SLPs works best when INL’s programs use those partners for specific interventions or expertise that can be difficult to find at the federal level or to address issues such as combating gender based violence or promoting community outreach by law enforcement. These interventions directly support the INL country program’s stated goals and objectives. In order to improve the efficacy and impact of our foreign assistance training, the SLP program wants to standardize, internationalize, and professionalize training provided by INL implementing partners to foreign criminal justice professionals.

8. Period of Performance. There is an initial twelve (12) month period of performance with four optional twelve (12) month periods of performance.

9. Place of Performance:

9.1. SA-1, Columbia Plaza, 2401 E St NW, Washington DC 20037 or within approximately

11.1.3.6. Understanding of learning theory, design thinking, and both waterfall and agile approaches to course development

11.1.3.7. Stay informed of industry trends (for example: micro learning techniques and gamification)

11.2. Three Audiences and Programs - Specifically, the contractor shall provide instructional services for three different audiences and programs:

11.2.1. Staff Training – for INL’s staff;

11.2.2. Pre-Deployment Training (PDT) - for INL’s trainers and advisors assigned overseas to implement INL’s mission; and

11.2.3. Foreign Partner Training or FP Training – for INL’s state and local partners to deliver training to foreign government criminal justice practitioners.

11.3. Staff Training - This training is for INL’s 1,000 person workforce including those domestic and overseas who design, manage, oversee, or support foreign assistance programs.

11.3.1. Staff Training requires: learner analysis, design, and development;

implementation, including course facilitation; evaluation; and curriculum sustainment services.

11.3.2. Training shall be developed and delivered through one or more of these various modes as specified by the Government:

11.3.2.1. In-person Instructor-Led Training (ILT);

11.3.2.2. Asynchronous training;

11.3.2.3. Hybrid training using synchronous and asynchronous learning, AND/OR

Blended training, consisting of live, instructor-led training for both an in-person audience as well as a remote, on-line audience simultaneously; and

11.3.2.4. Micro-training which ITT categorizes as 1-10 minute training videos or remote learning opportunities to develop skills to complete specific tasks.

11.4. Pre-Deployment Training - This training is for INL-funded trainers and advisors to prepare them to execute INL’s mission abroad. Full curriculum packages currently exist, as such learner analysis, design and development are not needed at this time, but maybe included as optional services in a later option year.

11.4.1. PDT requires: learner analysis, design, and development (optional services):

implementation, including course facilitation; evaluation; and curriculum sustainment services.

11.4.2. Training is provided in the following forms:

11.4.2.1. PREP, - 5 day, in-person, ILT

11.4.2.2. Mobile, - 1 day, condensed, in-person, ILT

11.4.2.3. Global, - 3 day overseas, in-person ILT

11.4.2.4. Virtual – ½ day, condensed, on-line ILT

11.5. Foreign Partner Training - INL leverages the expertise of state and local criminal justice agencies in the U.S. and their personnel to provide training to INL’s foreign partners. To improve the efficacy and impact of our foreign assistance training, INL/KM/CET wants to standardize, internationalize, and professionalize training provided by its state and local partners to INL’s foreign criminal justice partners.

11.5.1. Foreign Partner Training requires: learner analysis, design, and development;

and curriculum sustainment services.

Attachment 2: SOW

11.5.2. Training is designed for in-person instructor-led training (ILT), which the SLP Team sees as the preferred method of delivery. However, future training may also need to employ:

11.5.2.1. Virtual, ILT training;

11.5.2.2. Asynchronous learning; and

11.5.2.3. Hybrid synchronous and asynchronous learning, both in-person and remote.

11.6. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, materials, equipment, tools, activities, deliverables, and reports to standardize, update, and professionalize training. The Contractor shall create new or improve existing training using a modular approach, stand-alone approach, or training templates, depending on topic area.

11.6.1. Note: The training template approach, which will be used when directed by INL, is similar to a course design guide and includes overall course learning objectives, end performance desired results, and necessary module learning objectives to achieve the overall course objectives. The template approach will primarily be used when the SLP program’s audience of foreign partners are too varied in their criminal justice systems and legal contexts to permit a full, standardized course, to be delivered to a wide variety of foreign partners. The broader design guide will allow for overall consistency in learning objectives and performance desired results, but allow for customization for the local laws and systems.

11.7. For the Contractor’s planning purposes a representative listing of scheduled curriculum development and review projections are listed below. The actual curriculum projections and course calendar for the first award year will be provided upon award and transition will occur within 30 days of award, during which time the U.S. government will provide the Contractor with access to training modules, identify equipment and materials available to support courses, and familiarize staff with facilities for Staff Training and PDT.
