RFI for Vocational Training Services

The Federal Correctional Institution in Grand Prairie, Texas, is seeking information to identify qualified providers for an occupational education and vocational training program. The agency requires a program that falls under the provider's existing umbrella of accreditation and leads to transferable college credits. This initiative aims to prepare inmates for the workforce by equipping them with qualifications for at least entry-level employment upon release. The scope of work requires the provider to deliver vocational training services that result in either a college certificate or an industry-recognized credential. Inmates must receive transferable college credits for all completed courses within the program. The selected provider will perform all work offsite at their own established facility rather than at the agency's location. Eligible providers must be United States-based organizations holding active accreditation from a recognized accrediting agency. The agency is currently seeking proposals to determine the budget and cost structure for this contractual agreement, which will not constitute a federal personnel appointment. The source document does not specify evaluation criteria or key dates for this request.
