The United States Secret Service has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to the University of Connecticut for developing K-12 Schools Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management Implementation and Evaluation Guidance. This is an informational notice only and not a request for competitive offers, quotes, or capability statements.

The contract falls under the Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities NAICS category. Questions or comments regarding this notice must be submitted via email to designated contract specialists by 7:00am EST on September 17, 2025.
The contract's primary objective is to develop guidance for K-12 schools regarding behavioral threat assessment and management implementation capacity and evaluation metrics to help protect against targeted violence. The University of Connecticut was selected through market research due to its unique expertise with the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports team at the Center for Behavioral Education and Research, along with 26 years of leadership in education and experience working with over 27,000 schools. The 12-month base year contract will focus on creating metrics, evaluation rubrics, and self-assessment resources for law enforcement entities and school districts.

The contract will be awarded using simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with federal acquisition regulations.
