1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA), Sexual Assault Prevention and Response

Office (SAPRO) requires contractor support services to assist SAPRO in executing their mission and supporting the capability of the Department of Defense (DoD) to respond to the needs of victims of sexual assaults.

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 In February of 2004, the Secretary of Defense directed the Under Secretary of Defense for

Personnel and Readiness, to review the way DoD handles the treatment and care for victims of sexual assault in the Military Services. Of particular concern, was how the military Services provided such care in the combat theaters.

2.2 SAPRO’s mission is to serve as the single point authority, accountability, and oversight for the sexual assault prevention and response program, provide guidance to DoD components, and facilitate resolution of issues common to the Services and Joint Commands. SAPRO’s policy objectives are to specifically enhance and improve prevention through training and education programs, treatment and support of victims and system accountability. SAPRO seeks to enable military readiness by establishing a culture free of sexual assault.

2.3 Since 2004, the Department has continued to elevate the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program to the highest levels with new annual requirements and has become a special interest program that has the support and interests of both Congressional and Executive Branch bodies.

In addressing these concerns, SAPRO requirements have increased exponentially and must be supported by a highly qualified, experienced and professional support services team.
