SAIC to provide training delivery services for FEMA’s CDP

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded a contract to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) to provide training delivery services in support of the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP).

Under the contract, SAIC will continue to provide training delivery services which include course delivery; chemical, ordnance, biological and radiological training facility instruction; instructor selection, training, certification, and sustainment; equipment management and logistical support; and safety operations and management.

In addition to identifying, developing, testing and delivering training to state, local, and tribal emergency response providers, CDP provides on-site and mobile training at the performance, management, and planning levels.

SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager JT Grumski said, "The training provided by the Center for Domestic Preparedness is critical to the readiness of our response community to successfully manage emergencies."

Additional training services will be provided to emergency response disciplines including emergency management, emergency medical services, fire services, governmental administrative, hazardous materials, healthcare, law enforcement, public health, public safety communications, and public works.

The single-award cost-plus award-fee and fixed price contract has a one-year base period of performance with four one-year options.

Total contract value is expected to be approximately $52m, if all options are exercised, and work will be performed primarily in Anniston, Alabama, US.

The company has been the primary contractor for training delivery and operations support at the CDP since its inception.
