This file is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) document related to a personal services contract with the Ohio Fire Academy and the Division of State Fire Marshal for statewide fire and emergency medical services behavioral health training. The contract seeks peer-based instructors who are firefighters and EMS professionals to deliver behavioral health training to volunteer and paid first responders throughout Ohio. The Ohio Fire Academy and Division of State Fire Marshal identified a current training gap due to the lack of trained and certified staff available to deliver this specialized training.

The contract is structured as a personal services agreement to address the immediate need for behavioral health training capacity within Ohio's fire and EMS community. The specific details regarding pricing terms, contract duration, renewal options, funding sources, award amounts, response deadlines, and other contractual terms are referenced as being available in the attached RFQ document but are not fully detailed in this summary file.
