Quick Summary
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP), under the Department of Justice, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for Executive Leadership Training for Women Facilities. This RFI is for market research to identify qualified vendors capable of developing and delivering a comprehensive, trauma-informed training program for executive leadership in FBOP facilities housing women. The eventual procurement is anticipated to be a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Responses are due by June 29, 2026.
Purpose & Requirement Overview
This RFI is solely for market research and planning purposes, not a solicitation or commitment to award a contract. The FBOP's Women and Special Populations Branch (WASPB) seeks information from vendors to develop and deliver a trauma-informed training program responsive to women's needs for executive leadership. The government is conducting market research to determine small business availability and support a potential set-aside decision.
Scope of Work
The anticipated scope, as detailed in the Statement of Work (SOW), involves developing and delivering specialized, trauma-informed training for newly appointed executive leadership within FBOP facilities exclusively housing women. Key areas include:
- Curriculum Development: Comprehensive, evidence-based training on women-specific and trauma-informed principles for correctional communication and management. Topics cover sex-based impacts, trauma triggers, effective communication with survivors, building safe environments, PREA compliance, data-informed leadership, and cultural considerations for special populations.
- Deliverables: Training materials (slides, handouts), activities, evaluations, and a resource guide. Curriculum requires FBOP approval four months prior to initial training.
- Technical Assistance: Ongoing consultation to the FBOP.
- Frequency: Training provided once per fiscal year.
Key Requirements & Qualifications
Contractors must demonstrate expertise in advocacy for justice-involved women, trauma treatment, cognitive-behavioral interventions, and experience training correctional executive leadership. Knowledge of FBOP programs, policies, and PREA standards is essential. Personnel require FBOP approval and may need security clearances.
