Increasing Police Recruitment Service

The government authority in Washington, DC, is seeking a vendor to provide services that increase the recruitment of qualified police candidates from priority geographic regions. These target areas are critical due to high levels of coca production, narcotrafficking, and child recruitment by criminal organizations. The program aims to solve recruitment challenges in these vulnerable regions by providing structured scholarship support to qualified candidates. The scope of work requires the implementer to manage a structured financial management system to distribute scholarship funds. The selected vendor must ensure timely, monthly electronic funds transfer payments directly to the bank accounts of scholarship recipients or to service providers for required items. To strengthen internal controls, the implementer must minimize direct cash handling, restrict transfers to approved support expenses only, and ensure all disbursements are fully documented and auditable. Eligibility is limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The performance of the contract work will take place offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed specific key dates or evaluation criteria in the initial solicitation.
