The United States Coast Guard (USCG) National Strike Force (NSF) requires contractor support (training materials, equipment, and services) for instruction of Confined Space and Rescue Training for personnel in personal protective equipment for Level A and B responses in accordance with the attached Statement of Work. The final day will be dedicated to a skills exercise to evaluate how well participants apply the knowledge gained during the week's training. The contract will have a one-year period of performance. The Contractor will provide three (3) course convenings of up to twenty (20) students for Confined Space Entry Training and up to 12 students (that had the Confined Space Entry Course) for Confined Space Rescue Training. Both courses and exercise should be completed within 5 days (example: 2 days Entry, 2 days Rescue and 1 day skill exercise or something similar) and be completed prior to the last day of September 2027. The USCG will own the training courses, and a copy of all training materials created for the course shall be provided to the NSF. An audit will be completed to update material as needed due to regulation changes, mission changes and all other unforeseen circumstances. All training classes shall take place at USCG facilities.
