On-Site Exercise Evaluation & Hotwash Facilitation

The contract calls for the provision of subject matter expert evaluators to conduct on-site observation and assessment of the Constant Vigilance 2026 crisis response exercise taking place in Okinawa. These experts will be responsible for real-time data collection across multiple emergency response disciplines, ensuring comprehensive performance documentation during the exercise. Their role includes capturing actionable insights on coordination, communication, and execution among participating agencies to support post-exercise analysis and improvement efforts. The evaluators must be adept at operating in high-tempo, multi-agency environments with a focus on military and civilian emergency response integration. In addition to data collection, the contract requires the facilitation of hotwash sessions immediately following exercise events. These sessions are critical for gathering feedback from participants, identifying strengths and gaps in response protocols, and documenting lessons learned in a structured manner. The work will occur on-site in Okinawa, with all activities centered around the timing and logistics of the Constant Vigilance 2026 exercise. The opportunity is issued as a subcontract under the NAICS code 541611 for management consulting services, with responses due by July 29, 2026, and the contracting entity is the Department of Defense through the Commanding Officer.
