About this opportunity
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Training and Development is soliciting role player support services for its Detecting Deception and Eliciting Responses (DDER) Training Support program through Request for Quote (RFQ) 70B06C26Q00000002. The requirement calls for qualified role players with acting skills and cultural expertise to conduct rapport-based interviewing training, a non-confrontational approach designed to develop trust and obtain information from subjects. Role players must represent Latin American, South Asian, East Asian, and Middle Eastern cultural backgrounds, possess professional-level foreign language proficiency, and hold U.S. citizenship or legal residency with a favorably adjudicated background investigation and Public Trust clearance. Four role players are required per training session, with curriculum support and program management also included in the scope. The solicitation was amended on January 6, 2026 (Amendment A0001) to extend the submission deadline to January 9, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET and to provide responses to potential offerors' questions; proposals should be submitted based on firm fixed-price pricing that includes all lodging, travel, food, and associated expenses.
This procurement is set aside exclusively for women-owned small businesses under NAICS code 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services). The previous contractor, Human Technology Inc., held the expired incumbent contract through 2025, with no current contractor in place. The base contract period runs from February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027, with four one-year option periods potentially extending through January 31, 2031, structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Up to 24 DDER training sessions may be conducted annually depending on fiscal year funding, with the FY26 schedule showing eight sessions scheduled between March and August 2026, each session spanning 3-4 days and requiring four role players per session at a unit price of firm fixed-price per role player per day. Performance will take place at the CBP Advanced Training Center in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia 25425.
