- INL SAN SALVADOR BUILD PARTNER NATION CAPACITY SERIES "HEROES DE EL SALVADOR" SCOPE OF WORK FOR BACKPACK SCHOOL KITS (MOCHILA) Part 1 General Information 1. General : This is a contract to provide print products in the form of backpacks and school kits to support the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) and the Policia National Civil (PNC). The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government. 1.1 INTRODUCTION: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to perform print production support as defined in this Scope of Work except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. 1.2 BACKGROUND: This media campaign aims to change the behavior of a specific Target Audience (TA) within Salvadoran society in order to Build Partner Nation Image of the PNC. Through empirically supported techniques of persuasion, the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) will influence the TA to increase the amount of support given by the population to the PNC. The series "Heroes de El Salvador" will showcase the Police as Heroes of El Salvador by highlighting their daily sacrifice, service, and support to the citizens of El Salvador. "Heroes de El Salvador" is going to be directed at a Salvadoran population that, through research, has been found to be the most susceptible. The audience identified will have the greatest positive impact in favor of the Police-parents of young kids within the ages of 10 to 14 years old. Every message, image, and argument that is used will be oriented toward gaining the trust and support of the population in favor of the Police in an effort to aid their daily fight against illegal criminal activities and Violent Extreme Organizations (i.e.: MS13 and Barrio 18) in El Salvador. The proposed media campaign was developed by Salvadoran PNC leadership. Using local ideas and reflecting local priorities, INL requests funding for the attached $770,000 campaign, which sequences a variety of products over a 12-month period, beginning with a televised address by President Sanchez Ceren tentatively planned for August 2016. The address will be followed by TV and radio ads, successive waves of SMS and social media messaging, dissemination of PNC-branded school supplies and soccer balls to local communities. Billboards, street signs, and truck wraps will round out visibility of the campaign, providing sustained positive imaging of the PNC to balance out the negative press generated by ongoing violence. 2. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The period of performance will be a one-time service contract to produce, print, and deliver 10,000 backpacks and 10,000 school kits tentatively within 30 calendar days after the award of the contract or on a date chosen by the INL not to be before 01 August 2016, but no later than 01 September 2016. 3.
