BCA Wellness Services

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, a law enforcement division of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, is requesting proposals for wellness services to provide education, training, and support to personnel exposed to traumatic incidents, with proposals due October 22, 2026.

The target population comprises approximately 170 investigators in the Investigative Services Division and 50 staff members in the Crime Scene Program and the Digital and Multimedia Evidence section — roughly 220 personnel total. The services must address trauma-related health issues including anxiety, depression, somatization, post-traumatic stress disorder, and burnout resulting from occupational exposure to traumatic material and incidents. Vendors must demonstrate expertise in trauma-informed care and law enforcement wellness programming, with the ability to design and deliver evidence-based wellness initiatives tailored to the specific occupational stressors experienced by law enforcement personnel.

The RFP documents reference specific pricing terms, evaluation criteria, contract term details, response deadlines, site visit schedules, and bidder conference information; however, these details are contained within the full RFP files and are not extracted in the source summary. Similarly, budget allocation, funding sources, set-asides, incumbent contractor status, and other material contract specifications are outlined in the proposal documents but not detailed here. Vendors responding should be prepared to address how their services integrate into the BCA's broader employee support infrastructure and support a proactive organizational approach to mitigating the psychological and physiological impacts of occupational trauma on workforce health and retention.
