The scope of work requires the development of a comprehensive facility-wide Training and Exercise Plan and the creation of standardized training and exercise templates. The selected vendor must conduct a gap and needs assessment, develop a training schedule, and coordinate exercises and training. Additionally, the agency requires the provision of personnel to handle exercise design, facilitation, evaluation, continuous improvement tracking, and other preparedness support identified during the assessment. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based entirely in the United States. The agency requires all work to be performed offsite at the vendor's own office premises. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a specific funding limit or key procurement dates in the initial request.
