DESCRIPTION


The issuing organization is seeking a vendor to develop and strengthen effective law enforcement and prosecution strategies to respond to violent crimes against women, while also improving victim services in cases involving these offenses. The effort is aligned with the STOP (Services, Training, Officers, Prosecution) Program, which promotes a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to enhancing advocacy and improving the criminal justice system’s response to violent crimes against women.

The requested services include meaningful sexual assault services tailored to the specific needs of sexual assault victims. Projects are expected to maintain a legitimate focus on sexual assault, and personnel supported under the work should have sufficient expertise and experience in this area. STOP Program funding may support personnel, training, technical assistance, data collection, and equipment costs that enhance the apprehension, prosecution, and adjudication of offenders, as well as improve services for victims.

The contract period is anticipated to be one year. Questions related to the solicitation must be submitted no later than August 5, 2026.
