Instructional Design and Curriculum Development

The contract involves the update and modernization of a leadership development curriculum specifically designed for mid-level Foreign Service managers, with a focus on enhancing their management capabilities through contemporary instructional methods. The work requires the design and development of digital learning modules and accompanying facilitator resources using Articulate Rise to ensure engaging, scalable, and interactive training experiences that align with current adult learning principles and diplomatic workforce needs. The curriculum will be tailored to reflect the evolving demands of leadership within the U.S. Foreign Service context, particularly in overseas postings, and must support both self-paced and instructor-led delivery models. The effort is being conducted as a subcontract under the Department of State, with the U.S. Embassy Bangkok identified as the originating agency. The project falls under NAICS code 611430, which categorizes it as other schools and instruction, emphasizing its instructional design focus rather than formal academic instruction. There is no specified set-aside classification, and while the physical place of performance is not detailed, the work is expected to be delivered remotely with outcomes tailored to the operational needs of State Department personnel. The solicitation was posted in June 2026, indicating a forward-looking procurement aimed at preparing leadership pipelines with modernized, technology-enabled learning tools.
