DYD_Restorative_Justice_Trainers_and_Practitioners_RFI.pdf

This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the County of Los Angeles Department of Youth Development seeking qualified organizations and individuals with expertise in facilitating complex Restorative Justice practices and providing training on Restorative Justice to youth, community members, educators, and organizations serving youth. The RFI does not specify quantities or request specific products but rather seeks information about potential service providers' capabilities and experience in restorative justice facilitation and training. Responses must be submitted through BIT.LY/DYDRJRFI no later than Friday, May 29, 2026, by 5:00 p.m. PST. No specific site visits, bidder's meetings, or award dates are indicated in the RFI document, nor are contract terms or renewal options specified at this information-gathering stage.

As an RFI, pricing information, set-asides, incumbent contractors, funding amounts, and sources are not detailed in this document. This is a preliminary information-gathering effort designed to identify the marketplace of qualified restorative justice trainers and practitioners before the Department of Youth Development determines next steps for potential procurement. The RFI does not establish binding contractual obligations but rather collects information to inform future procurement decisions.
