The specific requirement is to support the Army's SHARP training strategy to combat sexual harassment and sexual assault. Every military member accessed in the Army is required to receive the prevention of sexual harassment and sexual assault training during IMT, both CONUS and OCONUS locations. The focused training plan also includes a secondary prevention of sexual harassment and sexual assault training session which is more specific for the active duty, reserve, Guard and civilian components of the Army. The training provides instruction to recognize and combat sexual harassment/assault in peers and to act accordingly by assisting and directing fellow soldiers to the proper channels for further assistance. The Army continues to work to combat sexual harassment and assault and the SHARP training during the accession process is focused at giving Soldiers the tools to identify and combat this issue. The Army also continues to focus on the sexual assault prevention training given to soldiers on installations, both CONUS and OCONUS. The focused training plan approved by the Chief of Staff of the Army includes training sessions to large groups of up to 350 soldiers per session to the Army. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform services supporting the Army G-1 Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) Program.

Each session will be comprised of two actors (male and female) presenting to groups of approximately 350 Soldiers. The presentation will address social pressures, gender stereotypes, rape myths, and respectful relationships. Contractor shall manage and furnish all support products and services associated with the training. The contactor will also conduct logistical coordination with installation POCs, and is responsible for onsite event management in order to successfully execute this task. For the secondary training sessions, the contractor shall provide a live training which is performed by expertly trained actors as part of a 90-120 minute improvisational comedy/education role play interactive exercises at Army installations worldwide (CONUS and OCONUS).
