Request for Information Feedback & Responses

F1: We suggest adding a scheduling parameter for the vendor and participants.

Currently, travel is expensive, and courses scheduled inside 90 days are seeing smaller audiences and increased costs to the vendor. It would be helpful to everyone to include a bullet that all courses will be scheduled at least 90 days prior to execution for maximum participation and talent management.

R1: We cannot guarantee 90 days’ notice. If a prospective host notices a particular threat to their area and needs training sooner rather than later, we need to be able to respond. Further, many Narcotic Task Forces prefer the short window due to possible future operations. We have always deferred to the requesting body on when the training will work best for their agencies. The vendors are expected to factor the cost of travel, as volatile as it may be, into their price proposal. Additionally, the size of the class should be of no concern to the vendors as long as there are not more students than the course is contracted for. Many of the locations we service cannot fill a 40 person course due to their remote locations and lack of L.E. density (i.e. rural areas).

F2: Information regarding requirement 5.7 student manual. We are a company seeking to provide all course content digitally. The vendor can provide a paper manual; however, it is the preferred method to give students the ability to see content on their phone, laptop, or tablet devices.

R2: As indicated in the PWS, the vendor is welcome to provide a digital copy of the course materials; however, the MCTC still requires a physical copy of materials for students to refer to.

F3: Suggestion: This suggestion may already be covered in 5.3 Course Content;

5.3.5 Risk Analysis/Threat Assessment. However, the suggestion is to add post-event debriefing, especially if an unforeseen incident does occur, deadly force. Is their any Critical Incident protocol?

R3: Good point. Post-incident protocols have been covered, although not in depth, in this course for years. With that said, this course is a pre-operation planning course that isn’t intended to delve into the execution phase of the mission or the aftermath (post-incident). We offer other courses that deal with the execution and post execution of missions. Post incident protocol training, taught correctly, is a whole ball of wax that would detract from the primary requirements.
