About this opportunity

The Executive Office for US Attorneys issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source staged crime scene training to Alliance for HOPE International under FAR 6.302-1, with a response deadline of May 11, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement; no competitive quotation will be issued, and the Government reserves discretion to determine whether to compete.

The training addresses investigative and prosecutorial gaps in cases involving staged homicides, particularly intimate partner murders in tribal communities. Research shows that seasoned investigators, medical examiners, and prosecutors can misclassify staged scenes as accidents, suicides, or undetermined deaths. The contractor shall deliver approximately 24 hours of hands-on instruction over 3.5 days (June 8–12, 2026, in Columbia, South Carolina) to a multidisciplinary audience of prosecutors, forensic medical professionals, and investigators. The curriculum must cover investigation, prosecution, and victim-family relations; include small-group case team exercises using actual scenarios with emphasis on Indian Country cases; and be led by experts in domestic partner violence, strangulation crimes, and staged crime scene investigation and prosecution.

This notice is informational only. Interested parties may submit information within five days of publication to Maynard Minor, Contracting Officer, at Maynard.Minor@usdoj.gov. Telephonic inquiries are discouraged. The procurement is classified under NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) and PSC U008 (Education/Training).

Notice text

Crime scene staging research has found that most offenders who stage crime scenes are male, most victims are female, and the most common victim-offender relationship involving staging is intimate partner relationships. Seasoned investigators, medical examiners, and prosecutors can be misdirected by staged crime scenesand can close highly suspicious cases as accidents, suicides, or undetermined cause of death cases. As these types of crimes occur in tribal communities, it is important for law enforcement, medical professionals, and prosecutors who support tribal communities to have adequate training to properly investigate and prosecute cases of this nature.
