U -- TRAINING SERVICES POC Renea Morton, 202/435-6940 The U. S. Secret Service (USSS) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Johns Hopkins University (JHU), by means of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). This MOA establishes a relationship between the USSS and JHU for training services to be provided by JHU, particularly the Police Executive Leadership Program (PELP). The PELP is a part of a new network of the most highly-regarded law enforcement executive programs in the nation. The PELP possesses unique experts in the following fields of study as they relate to law enforcement, leadership and organizational behavior, managing change, workplace diversity, strategic planning, ethics and managing information and telecommunication systems. Additionally, the PELP itself is a unique cohort program consisting of a group of law enforcement executives from which the USSS can regularly draw valuable information in a collaborative manner to support both our investigative and protective missions. The MOA will be in force for the length of the relationship between the USSS and the JHU. It is anticipated that the USSS will order training via purchase orders. Inasmuch as this is a sole-source synopsis for the MOA and eventual purchase orders, there is no solicitation. See Note 22. (0030)
