The CDP is a national training facility located in Anniston, Alabama that prepares Federal, state, local and tribal emergency response personnel to respond to all hazards, including terrorist attacks using weapons of mass destruction, by providing advanced, hands on training. This national training program was developed for state, local, tribal, Federal, private sector and international responders from Fire Service, Law Enforcement, Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Management, HazMat, Public Health, Healthcare, Public Communications, Public Works and Government Administrative and other emergency response personnel, their trainers and supervisors. Training courses provided by the CDP provide specific knowledge and expertise for deterrence, prevention, response, mitigation and recovery to Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) incidents; mass casualty incidents; and incidents involving hazardous materials by providing advanced, hands-on and classroom-based state of the art training. During FY- 13, the CDP trained a total of 46,873 students including 13,505 resident students, 5,610 non-resident and 27,758 indirect students. The intention of this requirement is to obtain contracted comprehensive training operations and support services to DHS/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)/Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP)/Chemical, Ordnance, Biological, and Radiological Training Facility (COBRATF) located in Anniston, Alabama. The COBRATF has unique requirements to manage a training venue where chemical agents (GB and VX) and biological agents (ricin toxin and Bacillus anthracis delta Sterne) are used in a specialized training environment. This will require supervision on a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week basis. The Contractor shall provide all support services as identified in this statement of work. The object of this procurement is to obtain reliable efficient and effective services by applying a sound management and technical approach that will provide the best value and meet the objectives shown in this work statement.

The incumbent contractor for this requirement is URS Federal Services, Inc., under contract number HSFEEM-10-C-0238. However, the requirements of that contract have been split into two separate procurements. The other requirement, CDP COBRATF facility operations and maintenance support, will be awarded separately.
