HUMINT Training Instructor — DIA Tradecraft Training Support

DIA's HUMINT training support contract ($18M base period) is entering final option year with a recompete expected Q4 FY26. The work supports DIA's clandestine tradecraft training programs — instruction delivered to military and civilian intelligence personnel preparing for HUMINT collection assignments.

Instructors on this contract develop and deliver classroom and scenario-based training in clandestine tradecraft: source validation, elicitation techniques, operational security, and counterintelligence awareness. The role requires prior operational HUMINT experience — the training audience can tell the difference between instructors who've done the work and those who've studied it. Curriculum modernization has been flagged in recent CPARS-adjacent reporting, so candidates with experience updating legacy tradecraft curricula for the current threat environment are particularly well-positioned.

DIA instructor roles are almost always filled by former HUMINT operators with at least one overseas tour — the talent pool is narrow and most placements happen through personal networks. Companies competing this recompete need to demonstrate a bench of credentialed instructors at proposal stage. A cleared HUMINT professional who reaches out to CACI or SOSi's DIA training BD teams before RFP release has a meaningful advantage over candidates who apply after award.

TS/SCI required. Some instructor positions may require access to specific HUMINT compartments relevant to the training content. Active polygraph (CI or Full Scope) is a strong differentiator.
