About this file
This document contains the questions and responses from a Request for Information (RFI) related to a federal contract opportunity. The key details are:
The performance work statement (PWS) establishes requirements for contractor services to support the DC3 Cyber Training Academy (CTA). The contract will provide subject matter expertise and capabilities to support various Department of Defense and federal law enforcement agencies with cyber investigative training. The RFI addressed several topics, including the need for cyber investigative training updates or new course development, the potential requirement for a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), preferred contract vehicles, small business set-asides, Learning Management System (LMS) requirements, and the ability to deliver training in multiple locations. The government responses indicate the specific training needs are not yet known, a SCIF may be required later in the contract, and the procurement approach will be determined through market research. The LMS must meet minimum capability requirements but does not need to be a commercial-off-the-shelf product.

• Question 1: Could you please clarify which specific cyber investigative training areas the Government anticipates will require updates or new course development under the PWS?
o Government response: Not with particularity, (that is the issue), we know Cyber Investigative Training (course development) requirements will arise during the PWS we don't know with specificity what they would be. Refer to PWS section 1.0.6 Tasks —Note 2.
• Question 2: Will there be a need for Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs), or will the majority of the training remain unclassified?
o Government response: At award the contractor would not need a SCIF, all training is currently unclassified - at some time during the PoP of this PWS it might become necessary to have a SCIF in which case the government would identify that requirement. Refer to PWS section 1.0.5.1 Primary operational Environment – SCIF.
• Question 3: Does the Government have a preferred contract vehicle for this effort, such as
GSA or NASA SEWP?
o Government response: Market research will determine the path forward.
• Question 4: Is the Government considering a set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-
Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or other small business categories for this opportunity?
o Government response: Market research will determine the path forward.
• Question 5: Does the LMS have to be a COTS or can it be one that has been designed and implemented by the company?
o Government response: The requirements for the LMS are clearly set forth in the PWS. At a minimum any proposed solution must be minimally as capable as that which we already have. It is not a requirement the system be COTS but it must be SCORM compliant and (again) provide (minimally) the same level of capability as our current system (and those capabilities set out in the draft PWS).
• Question 6: Is the training required to be in multiple locations simultaneously?
o Government response: It could be, depending upon requirements.
• Question 7: Can the on-location training be accessed virtually by other training locations?
o Government response: This would depend upon the contractor's solution(s). Today, resident training is not accessed or linked to remote locations but it could be. This is essentially the approach we use with ILV (Instructor Led Virtual) the instructors using TEAMS or some other similar technology coupled with the contractor's LMS/Training platform deliver classes (as a resident type format) but students are remote. In short, one could do the same with resident courses, basically broadcast them (depending upon the resident course as some courses do not lend themselves well to a distance learning approach due to technical requirements and activities.
