Statement of Need Title 10 Foundations Training 26 October 2016
| 3 |
| Section 1.2.1.3 |
| This paragraph states, “The contractor’s course shall bridge the gap between the AF Cyber Training Pipeline and cyberspace operations tool focused Mission Qualification Training (MQT) to be hosted by 91 Cyberspace Operations Squadron (COS).” |
Question
Is there currently an established course curriculum for the contractor course?
Answer
There is not a currently established curriculum for the contractor provided course. 91 COS is developing the Training Task List (TTL) which will be available NLT 21 NOV. Curriculum development based on the TTL would be the contractor’s responsibility.
Question
Does the customer authorize the contractor to attend Utilization and Training Workshops (UT&W) or Training Advisory Groups (TAG) to determine course curricula?
Answer
While we are not familiar with UT&W or TAG. We don’t believe there would be any issues with this as long as training course can begin in APR ’17.

Question
Does the customer have an estimate of the total number of students to be trained per year?
Answer
Near term estimates are 5-10 students per year. However, additional units are taking interest in this effort which could result in substantially more students per year in the mid to long term. We cannot provide accurate estimates concerning mid to long term at this time.

| Section 4.2 |
| This paragraph states, “Government furnished property and services is/not applicable to this requirement.” |
Question
If Government Furnished Equipment or Property will not be furnished; does the customer have a preferred or approved/authorized software complement of tools used for cyber operations?
Answer
This course is intended to be offered at the Unclassified level. Publicly available toolkits such as Metasploit or Poison Ivy can be acquired by the contractor for instructional use. The focus of this course is not to learn specific tools, but to develop operational methodologies and tradecraft that can be applied across toolkits.
Question
If Government Furnished Equipment is not provided; is the contractor expected to develop a simulator for training offensive cyber operations?
Answer
The contractor is expected to host a Persistent Training Environment (PTE) containing virtual machines for student interaction. This PTE will be used for students to learn hands-on techniques surveying virtual systems and navigating networks utilizing tunneling and redirection. Additionally, the PTE will be used for students to demonstrate hands-on tasks during quizzes and tests for the modules.
