How to bid on Training and Support Services for the INTAC Program Office with USACE
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is seeking information from companies that can provide comprehensive training and support services for its Individual Terrorism Awareness Course (INTAC) program. This includes classroom instruction, firearms training, driving courses, medical training, and other hands-on modules.
A contractor would be responsible for providing instructors, all necessary equipment and materials, supervision, and suitable training facilities. These facilities must be located within 125 miles of the Pentagon and include road courses, firing ranges, classrooms, and storage space. This is a significant opportunity with an estimated contract ceiling of $10 million over a five-year ordering period.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI), not a request for proposals. The deadline for submitting questions about this RFI is September 18, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET. All capability packages from interested vendors are due by October 05, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET.
At the deadline, the agency will review the submitted capability packages to understand the market's ability to meet the INTAC program's needs. This information will help USACE plan for a future solicitation.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is well-suited for businesses with extensive experience in specialized technical and trade school services, particularly those involving security, tactical, and awareness training. The relevant NAICS code is 611519, 'Other Technical and Trade Schools,' with a size standard of $16.5 million.
Firms capable of providing diverse training courses, from basic firearms and driving to advanced modules like Tactical Combat Casualty Care, are encouraged to respond. Companies with existing training facilities that include varied road courses, multiple firearms ranges, and indoor non-lethal training areas within 125 miles of the Pentagon will be particularly strong candidates. Businesses of all sizes are welcome to respond, with small businesses highly encouraged.
How to respond to this RFI
To respond, you need to submit a capability package. This package should include your organization's name, physical address, CAGE Code, and Unique Entity ID. You must also state your socioeconomic status.
Your submission should summarize your company's capability to perform and manage a contract of this scope, including three examples of comparable work from the past five years with descriptions, customer contacts, and dollar values. Describe your resources and personnel, noting any services that would be subcontracted and the technical capabilities of those subcontractors. Include your current facility clearance status and provide comments on the attached DRAFT Performance Work Statement (PWS). Additionally, provide detailed responses to the specific questions outlined in the RFI regarding range and type of classes, facilities and environment, instructor qualifications, and scalability of classes. Submit your response via email to Giorgiana Chen at [email protected] and Douglas Pohlman at [email protected] by the deadline.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is an RFI, treat your response as a strong first impression. Clearly demonstrate your expertise in all required training areas, especially firearms, driving, and medical. Highlight your ability to provide realistic, hands-on training scenarios and your process for keeping curriculum current with evolving threats.
Emphasize your existing infrastructure. Provide specific details about your training facilities, including the types of road courses, ranges, and indoor training areas, and explicitly confirm their proximity to the Pentagon. Detail your instructor qualifications, recruitment, and continuous evaluation processes. Finally, clearly explain how you can scale training to accommodate both large core groups and small, specialized modules concurrently, as this flexibility is a key requirement.
