This is a non-personal services contract for video production and training support services.

1.1.1. Scope. AFPC/DPFZ requires contractor support to provide video production services, development of training, specialized training opportunities, and supplemental infographic materials.

In the same year, the DoD accepted 82 of the IRC recommendations making them requirements. Under the Line of Effort 3: Culture and Climate, emerged the requirement that the DoD must fully execute on the principle that addressing sexual harassment and sexual assault in the 21st century requires engaging with the cyber domain. The requirement for this work is in line with 3.3. b of the IRC Report: “the military services will educate leaders on cyber harassment and technology-facilitated sexual harassment and sexual assault.”
