SECTION C - PWS

Engineer Research & Development Center (ERDC) Geospatial Research Laboratory (GRL)

Performance Work Statement (PWS) Leadership Development Program

Phases I & II

1. BACKGROUND: The government intends to award single firm fixed-price purchase order for the facilitation of a Leadership Development Program (LDP) Phases I & II. The ERDC LDP is designed to develop results-oriented, agile leaders with broad perspectives who lead people and lead change successfully in complex environments. The leadership competencies that it builds include Leading Change, Leading People, Results Driven, Business Acumen, Building Coalitions and Enterprise-wide Perspective.

The LDP Phase I is geared toward self-reflection and team building; it provides opportunities to explore the potential of leadership. The LDP Phase II is aimed at second level LDP participants to help them better understand and build upon their personal strengths. This encourages participants to reach out and assume leadership roles within their teams and workgroups. The overall goal is to develop an understanding of the Army and Corps of Engineers leadership fundamentals and expand self-awareness. In addition, growing our future leaders and dedication to the ERDC goals helps to achieve ERDC’s vision.

2. PROJECT OBJECTIVES: Project objectives are to provide leadership training to the GRL staff to ensure talents are being fully utilized to successfully accomplish the mission of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Engineer Research Development Center (ERDC), and Geospatial Research Laboratory (GRL). The objective of the GRL Leadership Development Program (LDP) is to develop results oriented, agile leaders with broad perspectives who lead people and lead change successfully in complex environments as stated in the Engineer Regulation (ER) 690-1-1214.

3. SCOPE OF WORK: The GRL Senior Management Team (SMT) will review & rate submitted LDP

Phase I and II applications, then select which applicants will participate in the program. The LDP will be facilitated in-person at the GRL by the selected contractor. In unforeseen cases where the classes cannot be facilitated in-person the government will accept alternate means of providing classes virtually. The contractor will utilize a government approved virtual format. The plan for the virtual format and instruction shall be submitted to the government for approval before implementation of plan.

The contractor shall align their leadership course competencies with the Department of Defense (DoD) Civilian Leader Development Framework (CLDF) which may be obtained at this website:

https://www.dcpas.osd.mil/sites/default/files/2021- 11/20211102_DoD%20Leader%20Competency%20Descriptions_v1.pdf. The GRL LDP Coordinator will develop the training schedule and the contractor will develop and conduct the training approach strategy.

The LDP Phases I & II are implemented over a nine to twelve-month period each, which includes the completion of various leadership and development training classes; reading assignments related to a variety of leadership and development topics; training sessions that will address leadership qualities and organizational topics. Participants will complete a group project and may be asked to brief at a staff meeting and/or Town Hall meeting. Special briefings, meetings, and events may be presented as additional opportunities. During the ERDC LDP week, LDP Phase II participants will travel to Vicksburg to visit the Commander or Deputy to the Commander, lab Directors or Deputy Directors, and ERDC Executive Office to learn about leadership styles and values involved in leading people.

Participants will be asked to provide feedback concerning their experiences in the program. The Geospatial Research Laboratory (GRL) offers LDP Phase I for one year and then offers LDP Phase II the next year.

Phase I – maximum twenty (20) participants (GS 9-13) Phase II – maximum six (6) participants (GS 9-13)

The GRL LDP Coordinator will develop the training schedule and the contractor shall develop and conduct the training approach strategy whose purpose is the following:

• Support ERDC Director’s and Commander’s goal of developing high-potential leaders.

• Help clarify your values and career goals.

• Improve your communication skills through self-awareness.

• Provide a broad understanding of the ERDC’s Laboratories, Installation Operations Command (IOC), and Executive Office (ExO) elements; the ERDC’s customers; Army research, development, technology, and engineering; and USACE and Department of Defense (DoD) activities.

• Help you differentiate between leadership and management skills and understand the need for both.

• Prepare you for other ERDC leadership development opportunities, plus lay the foundation for opportunities at the USACE and DoD levels.
