About this opportunity
The U.S. Secret Service, within the Department of Homeland Security, is issuing a Request for Information for Media Relations Training with responses due November 16, 2026 at 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. No set-aside is used. The RFI is for market research and acquisition planning only, does not commit the Government to award, and the Government will not reimburse response costs. The Office of Training contemplates a firm-fixed-price contract with a 12-month base period and four 12-month option periods, coded NAICS 611430 and PSC U006.
Required training comprises three courses: a three-day Media Relations 100-Level course, three classes annually, targeting GS-13 and above personnel with approximately 20 participants per class; a three-day Media Relations 400-Level Executive Course, two classes annually, targeting GS-15 and Senior Executives; and a two-day National Threat Assessment Center course, two classes annually, targeting NTAC employees and data scientists. Content spans the modern media landscape, crisis communication, press conference management, interview preparation, sound bite creation, and communications during National Special Security Events.
Vendors must demonstrate extensive media relations experience, experience supporting federal law enforcement agencies, and direct national media experience, along with capabilities in curriculum development, interactive and video-based instruction, recorded mock interviews, individual coaching, and recording/playback with detailed performance critiques. Training materials must comply with Section 508 accessibility standards.
Responses must be submitted as PDFs to Willie.Bethune@usss.dhs.gov, not exceeding ten pages excluding resumes, and include nonbinding budgetary pricing.
