Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Grant Program Services

The government authority located in Washington, DC is seeking vendor services to support its domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking grant program. The agency is trying to address the lack of access to quality forensic sexual assault examinations, shelters, victim services, and law enforcement resources in remote rural and geographically isolated areas. This initiative aims to establish and expand victim services in rural communities while dealing directly and immediately with these crimes. The scope of work covers providing health care providers, including sexual assault forensic examiners, to support the program. The selected vendor must create and implement strategies to increase awareness and prevent these crimes, while providing treatment, counseling, advocacy, legal assistance, and other services to adult and minor victims, including immigration assistance. Additionally, the project requires developing or strengthening programs addressing sexual assault, law enforcement training, rape kit backlogs, and providing training and resources to Community Health Aides involved in Indian Health Service programs. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based only in the United States. The agency requires the performance of all work to be conducted offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost. The source document does not contain evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
