1.0 Introduction

1.1 General: The Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) established a Multi- Disciplined Intelligence Operator (MDIO) Special Operations Capability Specialist – Signals Intelligence (SOCS-F) program utilizing specially trained Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Marines to support its mission.

To sustain the training requirements of this program, as well as the specific technical capabilities of the SIGINT Collection Teams (SCT) manned by SOCS-Fs, the Government requires a contract with the capability of providing SOCS-Fs and SCTs with full-range SIGINT training utilizing current and advanced methodologies within the SIGINT/Electronic Warfare realm.

1.2 Purpose: This document outlines the requirements for the training of new and experienced SOCS-Fs in Tactical SIGINT operations. It is intended to provide specific guidance to contractors and document the governments and contractor’s responsibilities in the SOCS-Fs/SCT SIGINT training process. The contractor shall develop a program of instruction (POI) and provide subject matter expertise to train SOCS-Fs/SCTs, meeting the specific requirements and end states set forth in this document.

1.3 Period of Performance: As specified in the contract and individual task orders.

1.4 Places of Performance: Due to security requirements, the government anticipates most training will occur in Onslow or New Hanover counties in North Carolina or other proposed training locations that meet the specific POI requirements, as will be agreed upon following award. The contractor may choose to utilize a house or commercial property rented or owned by the contractor but should maintain a consistent location throughout the performance of the contract. Government will delineate specific locations in each task order. The government will not provide any facility support and Camp Lejeune ranges/land may not be utilized for training.
