Performance Work Statement (PWS) for

Defensive and Evasive Driving Courses

1. Background

1.1. The Marine Corps Security Cooperation Group (MCSCG) deploys Marines throughout South America, Africa and the PACOM and CENTCOM area of operations. These Marines train and advise foreign militaries. As part of their organizational Mission Essential Task List (METL) the Marines are required to have advanced training to ensure mission safety and force protection.

The Marines are required to operate non-tactical vehicles in foreign countries in driving conditions which can be chaotic and dangerous; therefore, they must have the capability to preform defensive and evasive driving skills to prepare for the environment and conditions in which they will drive. MCSCG requires contractor support to further its ability to conduct training in selected tasks.

2. Scope

2.1 MCSCG requires contractor developed curriculum to support defensive and evasive driving skill sets. This training will ensure maximum force protection during deployments in support of training and advising foreign host nation security forces.

3. General Facility and Accommodation Requirements

3.1 All training will be conducted on a contractor provided

training facility. The training facility shall be within 250 miles of Fort Story, Virginia Beach, 23459.

3.2 The Contractor shall possess a climate controlled classroom capable of seating up to 30 students.

3.3 The Contractor shall provide accommodations for up to 30

students. These accommodations must have adequate shower, toilets facilities and must be in clean, livable, and climate controlled condition.
