Iowa National Guard technical instruction services for Highway Drug Investigations for Patrol course for the Midwest Counterdrug Training Center

The Iowa Army National Guard's Midwest Counterdrug Training Center is procuring technical instruction services for a Highway Drug Investigations for Patrol course under solicitation W912LP-26-R-0008. The Government seeks a commercial off-the-shelf or customized training course tailored to law enforcement instruction, requiring contractors to design, develop, and deliver comprehensive curricula covering 18 specified learning objectives related to highway drug interdiction. Key contractor qualifications include prior experience designing and delivering similar courses to uniformed patrol officers and current engagement in law enforcement training on this subject, while each proposed instructor must possess a minimum of 15 years of total law enforcement experience (including 10 years as a civilian highway interdiction officer) and at least 5 years of experience teaching Highway Drug Investigations courses. The Government will evaluate proposals based on three primary factors: Technical Capability (including contractor and instructor qualifications), Past Performance (assessed through references from similar, recent contracts), and Total Evaluated Price, with Technical Capability and Past Performance combined being significantly more important than price. Critical deadlines include May 20, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Central Time for written questions and past performance questionnaires, and June 2, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Central Time for proposal submission.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside with no incumbent contractor identified in the solicitation documents. The contract structure includes a base period requiring up to 6 course iterations over 12 months, followed by four optional one-year periods each requiring up to 12 course iterations, allowing the Government flexibility based on funding and training needs. Specific budget or award value information is not disclosed in the solicitation notice; contractors must propose pricing using the Government-provided price proposal form for each course iteration. The course will serve up to 50 law enforcement officers per iteration, delivered over a minimum of three class days with at least 20 instructional hours, and will be conducted at multiple locations across the MCTC service area (54 states and territories) with approximately one-third of courses held at the primary campus. The primary place of performance is Johnston, Iowa 50131, specifically at Camp Dodge Joint Maneuver Training Center, home of the Midwest Counterdrug Training Center.
