CIVILIAN GUARDIAN COURSE (CGC) CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AND ITERATION

Tender summary

This is a prelimary draft with no expected changes once the final is issued.  All interested vendors should immediately begin preparing their offer process. Once the final solicitation has been issued is no expected change in the due date. The project scope encompasses the creation of classes, lessons, instructor guides, and student-facing training materials as described in the PWS. The selected vendor must collaborate closely with the government, which will simultaneously develop the inherently governmental portion of the curriculum, to ensure overall continuity and cohesive branding. This highly compressed effort has an expected completion window of less than four months, with all vendor-developed elements delivered in that time window. Furthermore, all lessons, activities, templates, and assessments are subject to formal government review and approval prior to deployment. There is no government furnished information on the space element of the course. The initial phase of the program consists of a 40-hour, high-engagement, multi-modal curriculum that avoids static lectures or slides. This 40-hour block integrates synchronous and asynchronous elements, including mandatory readings, interactive instructional videos, independent assignments, knowledge assessments, synchronous online group collaboration, and direct interaction with instructors and subject matter experts. The course culminates in an intensive, one-week capstone event focused on high-fidelity, performance-based activities and instructor-led simulations ensuing knowledge of space awareness and their role in superiority. A critical element is the space expert consultant. The Vendor will be required to participate in all curriculum development and iteration efforts from pre-execution through post-execution. The Vendor shall be responsible for the complete build-out and technical configuration of all assigned portions of course content within the Government-provided Learning Management System (LMS). Curriculum maintenance and updates will occur on a consistent and reoccurring schedule during the development stage as part of this effort. Additionally, all required multi-media support and Instructional Systems Design (ISD) support for the performance period are outlined in the PWS. The Government will retain final authority on all course content, instructional methodologies, and learning activities. Any vendor who would like to recommend an award be made using a different NAICS code may make that recommendation due to the nature of the project.   Please note U008 will not be changed.
