Question 1: PWS Paragraph 6.0 Contractor Furnished Property states, "The Contractor shall furnish all facilities, materials, equipment and services necessary to include LE duty/gun belts to fulfill the requirements of this contract." Considering the fact that duty gun belts are basic issue for Law Enforcement Officers, please provide a detailed personal gear list that each student will have issued and in their possession when they arrive for training. If this requirement is referencing gun belts for Simmunitions or non-lethal weapons conversion kits, required accessories, and PPE, please identify specific weapons, magazines (Including capacity), and whether student weapons are equipped with lights (if so, which model).

Answer 1: Equipment that should be provided for each student: LE belt, 4 keepers, holster, cuffs/key, baton/holder, OC pouch w/ Inert OC Spray, Light w/ holder – Gun Model is the GLOCK 19 w/ lights or SIG P229 w/o lights - Members will not bring MAGS Question 2: PWS 2.1.1 states, "Participants will effectively respond to and mitigate an active shooter threat scenario utilizing reality-based scenarios." Please confirm whether or not Para 2.1.1. Terminology "reality-based scenarios" means simulated live-fire Practical Exercises utilizing conversion kits in duty weapons, non-lethal paint marking cartridges, PPE, and carefully designed training scenarios designed to simulate real world scenarios. *This requires attention to detail regarding student gear lists, specific weapons, etc, so the Contractor is prepared with the correct equipment and marking cartridges for final training scenarios, if Simmunitions training is part of the Government's requirements.
