Media Relations Training

The United States Secret Service, under the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the design, development, and delivery of tiered media relations and strategic communications training. The objective is to prepare personnel to serve as official spokespersons capable of managing national, regional, and local media during routine, high-profile, and crisis situations. The proposed training includes a 100-level course for GS-13 personnel and above, a 400-level executive course for GS-15 and Senior Executives, and a specialized course for the National Threat Assessment Center. The anticipated contract structure is a firm fixed price agreement featuring a 12-month base period and four optional 12-month extension periods. As this is a market research effort, the government is seeking nonbinding budgetary pricing and capability statements from vendors. Key requirements include demonstrated experience supporting federal law enforcement agencies and secure or classified operational environments. Contractors must provide detailed information on their training methodology, instructor qualifications, and course development samples, ensuring all materials comply with Section 508 accessibility standards. Interested respondents must submit their PDF responses to Willie Bethune by November 16, 2026, ensuring the total length does not exceed ten pages, excluding resumes.
