The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation (Solicitation Number: 9594CS26Q0006) for the delivery of a comprehensive Staff Safety Training program targeted at Community Supervision Officers (CSOs). This acquisition is structured as a firm fixed-price, Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 611699, with performance anticipated primarily in the Washington, DC metropolitan area (DMV). The program entails the development and delivery of scenario-based, experiential training focusing on officer safety skills tailored to unarmed probation/parole officers who lack arrest powers. The training includes a three-day Train-the-Trainer (T4T) session and seven two-day CSO Officer Safety Training (OST) courses delivered annually during a base period in 2026 and an option year in 2027, accommodating approximately 280 participants per year. All instructional content must align with CSOSA policies and current law enforcement best practices, emphasizing role-playing, de-escalation, situational awareness, use of force, and first aid skills. The contractor is responsible for providing all training materials, facilitator guides, participant handouts, and certificates of completion, with strict deadlines for draft and final material delivery and submission of attendance and evaluation data. Key personnel proposed to deliver the training must meet rigorous qualification standards, including at least five years’ experience in corrections, law enforcement, or military fields, and a minimum of three years’ experience facilitating relevant safety or use-of-force training. Preferred certifications such as FLETA or IADLEST NCP are noted, alongside requirements for U.S. citizenship, English fluency, and a minimum age of 21. The contract includes a post-award kickoff meeting and mandates quality control procedures to ensure curriculum fidelity and instructional effectiveness. While pricing details and specific contract clauses are not included, the contract is anticipated to be awarded via fixed-price purchase order or GSA MAS task order. The solicitation specifies critical timelines for submission and deliverables and highlights evaluation focus areas including technical approach, personnel qualifications, past performance, and logistical capability. All submissions must be electronically sent to the designated point of contact by the prescribed deadline, and all training deliveries are subject to government inspection and acceptance at government-furnished facilities within the DMV area.
