CBP OTD Detecting Deception & Eliciting Responses (DDER) Training Support

Current (Newest Update)

Posted: Jan. 6, 2026, 9:12 a.m. EST Amendment A0001 to RFQ 70B06C26Q00000002 is issued to provide responses to potential offeror's questions and extend the submission due date to January 9, 2026. This is a requirement for U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Office of Training and Development (OTD) to provide rapport-based interviewing training. Rapport-based interviewing is a collection of skills that allow the interviewer to develop a level of trust with a subject for the purpose of obtaining information. This style of interviewing is non-confrontational and conversational in approach. This is for training support in Harpers Ferry, WV at the Advanced Training Center (ATC) for a base year plus four, one-year options contract. There can be up to 24 sessions of DDER training delivered per year. The number of sessions scheduled will be based on fiscal year funding. These role-players need to have sufficient acting skills and appropriate cultural background/knowledge for these scenarios. The cultural backgrounds necessary for the current course are Latin American, South Asian, East Asian, and/or Middle Eastern. The curriculum requires four (4) role players per session.
