Analysis and Recommendations for Prison Operations, Workflow, Safety, and Death Reduction

The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services requires a vendor to analyze its prison system workflow and operations to improve safety and reduce deaths. The selected contractor must review institutional policies and staffing, assess violence levels using public data, compare agency policies with other states, evaluate historical data, conduct stakeholder interviews, summarize best practices, and provide implementation recommendations. Work performance will occur onsite in Crownsville, MD. Only onshore vendors based in the USA are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The buyer will hold a pre-bid meeting on October 9, 2026, and potential bidders must submit all questions no later than October 19, 2026. The contract period will run for one year, and the buyer requests proposal pricing to establish the budget.
