Technical Instructor Services for

Special Operations Combatives Program (SOCP) Instructor Course

1.0 General:

1.1 Background: Regional Counterdrug Training Academy (RCTA) Overview. RCTA is located at the Naval Air Station Meridian, MS, (NAS) and features state of the art classrooms and tactical training environments. With a training region that encompasses major international trafficking routes and national border ports of entry, RCTA’s courses strive to impact the illicit flow of drugs throughout the nation. Traditionally, two-thirds (2/3) of the course iterations are conducted throughout the primary training area using mobile training teams, while the remainder of the courses are taught in classrooms located at RCTA using the latest available technology. The training offered at RCTA is enhanced by access to a wide variety of military tactical training facilities such as weapons ranges and urban training areas to give the students realistic instruction and hands-on experience.

1.2 Scope: The Regional Counterdrug Training Academy (RCTA) is one of five (5) National Guard

Counterdrug training programs that provides relevant curriculum focused on counternarcotics and counter transnational organized crime (CTOC). RCTA provides courses that support National Drug

Control Strategies and positively impact the performance of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies (LEA), community-based organizations (CBO), and military professionals.

Course curriculum focuses on illicit narcotics interdiction, disruption of drug trafficking organizations, intelligence and analysis, narco-terrorism, homeland security, civil operations, and anti-drug coalition fundamentals. Each course is designed to support the objectives of the DASD-

CN, Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), National Northern Border, National

Southwest Border, and Caribbean Border counternarcotics strategies and increase national security.

RCTA supports federal, state, and local agencies with current and relevant training maximized by the experiences of subject matter experts in their field. All training events are designed to not only offer world class instruction, but also to break down jurisdictional barriers and offer a unique opportunity for officials across the law enforcement and prevention spectrum to network and share ideas in person.

3.0 Government Furnished Property, Material, Equipment and Services (GFP/M/E/S):

Property: The RCTA will furnish the necessary workspace for the contractor to perform services outlined in this PWS to include the padded fight room, fight suit, training weapons, and other items necessary to maintain an office environment. Property furnished by RCTA for the performance of this contract is incidental to the place of performance. FAR 45.000(b)(5). Contractor shall safeguard such property and secure the same at the close of each work period.

4.0 Contractor Furnished Property, Materials, and Equipment (CFP/M/E): Except for those items specifically stated to be Government-furnished in paragraph 3.1, the contractor shall furnish everything required to perform the training as indicated in paragraph 5.0. All expenses related to printing, production, and delivery of course materials are the responsibility of the contractor and shall be included in the firm fixed price.

5.0 Requirement: The contractor shall:

5.1 Provide a Special Operations Combatives Program Instructor course for up to 20 law enforcement officers per iteration. Each course length of SOCP shall be a minimum of 80 hours of instruction over a period of ten (10) class days. Contractor shall provide one (1) iteration of the course per year, at dates and locations to be determined, during the contract performance period.

The course title may change per RCTA’s needs but the course content will remain consistent with the current trends.

5.2 SOCP is the designated combatives program for all U.S. Army Special Operations Forces. It is the standard program for fighting in combat kits or duty gear with weaponry. The tactics, techniques, and procedures learned in SOCP increase police officer survivability in a highly elevated risk environment. SOCP is a realism based, task-specific system designed to bridge gaps between foundational training and the unique threats faced by the modern-day soldier and police officer. The SOCP Instructor course will build upon what students learned in the basic course and provide instructor level competence. Students will not only learn tactics and techniques, but also how to instruct and safely run force-on-force scenarios and drills that allow students to evolve their decision-making under stress. A key component to this requirement is the need for a contractor with the skills, knowledge, training, education, and experience to provide students instructor-level competence enabling the student to subsequently instruct and competently direct force-on-force scenarios and drills at their local unit/jurisdiction. As such, the contractor/instructor(s) must be subject matter experts on teaching and training SOCP techniques and processes to law enforcement and drug enforcement officers. The contractor/instructor(s) must have extensive experience reflecting competent SOCP skill sets and demonstrated, effective ability in transferring those skill sets through instruction to law enforcement/narcotics enforcement trainees.

5.3 Course Objectives: This course of instruction shall cover the following topics (learning objectives), at a minimum:

• Fighting in kit with weaponry

• Weapon transition and retention standing or on ground

• 360-degree ambush attacks into and over objects

• Fighting multiple assailants solo or as a team

• Compliant and non-compliant cuffing and vehicle extractions

• Force continuum (lethal/less than lethal options)

• Technique linkage

5.4 Target Audience: Up to twenty (20) law enforcement officers and military personnel to include local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement officers.

5.5 Offeror / Instructor Qualifications:

The contractor and instructor(s) must be subject matter experts on the SOCP tactics and techniques and possess the skill sets demonstrated by past performance and technical qualifications to competently qualify others as SOCP instructors. The contractor and instructor(s) must have extensive experience in real world combatives and be currently engaged in training law enforcement officers and/or Department of Defense personnel in the techniques and process of SOCP.

5.6 All travel, lodging and meal expenses will be incurred by the contractor and shall be included in the firm fixed price.
