DHS USCIS - AED, CPR, and Bleeding Control Certified Training - MRAS

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the General Services Administration (GSA), is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors capable of providing crucial emergency response training to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) employees. The primary goal of this initiative is to enhance the safety and health standards within USCIS facilities by equipping staff with essential life-saving skills. This effort aligns with the mission of the USCIS Office of Security and Integrity (OSI) to support a safe work environment and increase the number of trained "Good Samaritans" among its workforce.

The contract seeks vendors who can deliver in-person training sessions on Automated External Defibrillator (AED) usage, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and bleeding control techniques across various USCIS offices in the continental United States. The training will include necessary materials such as mannequins, tourniquets, and workbooks, ensuring comprehensive education for participants. Trainers must hold national certification from recognized organizations like the American Heart Association or American Red Cross, ensuring that all sessions meet established national standards.

Specific tasks under this contract include delivering thirty certified training courses tailored for USCIS staff, providing proctoring services for skills assessments, offering corrective feedback when needed, and issuing formal certification cards upon completion of each course. The vendor is expected to supply all required equipment for these sessions without reliance on government-furnished resources. The place of performance will span multiple USCIS facilities listed in an appendix to ensure broad coverage across regions.

This initiative underscores DHS's commitment to fostering a prepared and responsive workforce capable of handling medical emergencies effectively. By expanding the pool of trained personnel within its ranks, DHS aims not only to safeguard its employees but also enhance overall workplace safety standards across its operations.
