Student Transportation Security Services Program (STSSP) Training

Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 10, the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) Procurement Office, in support of the DoDEA-Europe Student Transportation Security Services Program (STSSP), is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing bus security training to bus drivers and enhanced safety attendants (ESA) performing services in Italy and Spain. This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for conducting market research and does not constitute a Request for Proposal, Invitation for Bids, Request for Quotation, and does not obligate the Government to any current or future commitments. The Government will not pay/reimburse any costs or charges resulting from contractors’ responses to this RFI. The security training provides school bus drivers and ESAs a working-level awareness of the threat, and instruct them in basic anti-terrorism and crime practices and techniques tailored to student transportation in the two host nations. The training has three parallel objectives: promote a collaboration between bus driver and ESA to provide a continuous safe and secure environment during the entire student transportation process; equip personnel with essential security-related knowledge and skills; and empower ESAs to perform student transportation security tasks in addition to their student transportation safety responsibilities. Potential contractor’s management responsibility includes furnishing all personnel, supplies, and materials; direction and active quality control supervision; development, preparation and submission of required curricula and report templates; and delivery of threat awareness, antiterrorism, and crime practices and techniques training to bus drivers and ESAs which service five (5) sites in Italy and one (1) site in Spain. The period of performance of these services will include a base period and four 12-month option periods, with an anticipated start date of 1 July 2020. The proposed applicable North American Industry Classification System code (NAICSC) for this requirement is 611430, Professional and Management Development Training. The Product Service Code (PSC) is U014, Education/Training- Security. *SEE THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT FOR THE COMPLETE RFI AND PRICE FORMAT.
