Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force, STARCOM Contracting PK, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for the STARCOM Civilian Guardian Course (CGC). This RFI seeks market research to identify vendors capable of designing, developing, and sustaining curriculum materials for a new training program focused on space awareness and superiority. The effort requires economical approaches, leveraging existing assets due to limited funding and an accelerated timeline. Responses are due by June 19, 2026.

Scope of Work

The project encompasses the creation of classes, lessons, instructor guides, and student-facing training materials as described in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The selected vendor will collaborate with the government on curriculum development and iteration, providing multimedia support and configuring course content within a Government-provided Learning Management System (LMS). The curriculum will be a 40-hour, high-engagement, multi-modal course integrating synchronous and asynchronous elements, culminating in an intensive one-week capstone event with performance-based activities and simulations. The PWS outlines a potential contract period from start to May 14, 2027, with initial curriculum delivery by November 30, 2026.
