Customs and Border Protection, which is seeking this new online training, runs the National Targeting Center, which is a 24/7 intelligence operation established in November 2001. "Its purpose is to provide proactive targeting aimed to prevent acts of terror, to seize, deter and disrupt terrorists, implements of terror, and to destroy the terror infrastructure," explained a CBP solicitation posted on March 26.
The online course will be called Fundamental Watch Listing and will supply the target analysts with a "thorough understanding of the methodology for preventing attacks against the homeland through the watchlisting process," said the CBP notice.
The selected vendor will provide online information, readings, case studies, discussion and assignments to educate the target analyst trainees in the fundamental of the watchlisting mission, international partnerships, the three-level interdiction process, key watchlisting databases, the history of watchlisting and watchlisting’s effect on privacy and civil liberties.
The contracted training company will provide a maximum of 70 online sessions, which trainees will be expected to complete within 30 days of the program’s launch.
Interested vendors can e-mail questions to , contracting officer, who can be reached at 317-614-4590 and must submit their formal offers by March 28.
