Rape Prevention and Education Program Service

The Mississippi government authority is seeking a vendor to provide a rape prevention and education program service. The agency is trying to solve the problem of sexual violence by preventing its first-time occurrence, reducing risk factors, and enhancing protective factors linked to perpetration and victimization. To address these issues, the agency requires a public health approach that utilizes a continuum of activities addressing individual, relationship, community, and societal factors. The scope of work covers the development and implementation of comprehensive prevention strategies based on the best available evidence. The selected vendor must analyze state and community data, such as health and safety data, to inform program decisions and monitor trends. Additionally, the project requires evaluating these prevention efforts and using the resulting data to improve future program plans. Eligible bidders must perform all work offsite and must be located onshore within the United States. The agency is establishing a contract period of one year for these services. Regarding budget and evaluation, the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the financial and technical fit, though specific evaluation criteria and key dates are not detailed in the initiating request.
