PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

COUNTER EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS CENTER INSTRUCTION

1.0 GENERAL. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) identifies the Contractor technical, tactical, and training support services required to sustain the Counter Explosive Hazards Center (CEHC), United States (U.S.) Army Engineer School (USAES), Fort Leonard Wood (FLW), MO, in the performance of its mission to provide the U.S. Army with the ability to operate in explosive hazards environments for the execution of assured mobility and force protection. Quality instruction and execution of training is a time-consuming, laborious process that requires continuous (before, during, and after) planning and oversight.

1.1 BACKGROUND. In December 2001, the Commander, Training and Doctrine Command

(TRADOC) tasked the Maneuver Support Center (MANSCEN) now known as the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence (MSCoE) at FLW to stand up a state-of-the-art center for explosive hazards countermeasures. The CEHC assesses explosive hazard threats in U.S.

areas of interest worldwide and identifies countermeasures to those threats through changes to technology, training, doctrine, and materiel. The CEHC initiates and integrates training solutions to explosive hazard threats to mobility and force protection in support of USAES, MSCoE and Army/Department of Defense (DoD) agencies. Due to worldwide operations of the U.S. military forces, the CEHC experienced a continued surge in training and assistance requirements that has taxed its capability to develop and provide timely instructional courses to the joint community.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK. The Contractor shall provide hands-on instruction for the Counter

Explosive Hazards Planners (CEH-P) course (paragraph 5.6) on awareness and defeat of explosive hazards based on current threats. All work shall be accomplished according to the current TRADOC Regulation 350-70, Army Learning Policy and Systems, 6 December 2011.

As stated in the guidance referred to above, the deliverables shall comply with TRADOC course administrative guidance. The Contractor shall provide qualified instructors who are able to effectively convey the material. Contractor shall maintain professional subject matter proficiency. Contractor shall thoroughly study and be well versed in the material, including the course outcomes, goals, and standards.

1.3 OBJECTIVES. To obtain instructional services for the Counter Explosive Hazards course .
