UAS Curriculum Development & Instructional Design

The contract seeks the development of a FEMA-certified unmanned aircraft systems training curriculum tailored for emergency management professionals, with a focus on instructional design that aligns with the National Response Framework and National Disaster Recovery Framework. The scope includes creating comprehensive learning modules, assessments, and supporting materials designed to build competencies in UAS operations for incident response, situational awareness, and recovery efforts. The curriculum must meet federal training standards and be structured to support scalable, standardized deployment across state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency management agencies. All deliverables are expected to be rigorously tested for effectiveness and regulatory compliance, ensuring seamless integration into existing FEMA training protocols. The work will be performed under a subcontract structure with a submission deadline of July 31, 2026, and is categorized under NAICS code 611420 for other schools and instruction. While no specific location is designated for performance, the project is funded and overseen by the Federal Emergency Management Agency under the Department of Homeland Security, with an emphasis on delivering a nationally recognized, interoperable training product that enhances emergency response capabilities through advanced drone technology.
