DQ DV Lethality & DVLAP

The Colorado Attorney General's Office is issuing a Documented Quote (DQ) solicitation to procure comprehensive asynchronous virtual training curriculum development services supporting statewide implementation of the Domestic Violence Lethality Assessment Protocol (DVLAP). The procurement is for Denver County and Denver City jurisdictions and requires the selected vendor to design and produce three core asynchronous virtual courses: a foundational course for law enforcement addressing domestic violence lethality dynamics and risk factors, a technical course for law enforcement on administering the LAP with fidelity including scoring and referral procedures, and a course for domestic violence advocates and community partners on their role in the DVLAP process. Qualified respondents must demonstrate experience on at least two past projects of similar size and complexity developing asynchronous curriculum for adult learners with integrated graphics, animation, and recorded video; collaborating with subject matter experts to translate technical or research-based content into engaging virtual training materials; and developing supplementary implementation materials such as technical assistance documents and quick-reference tools. Preferred qualifications include experience designing curriculum about domestic violence and coercive control, familiarity with accessibility compliance including ADA standards and closed captioning, and experience producing professional-grade video training content. Deliverables include a work plan and kickoff materials, subject matter expert consultation, course design packages, multimedia graphic design development, asynchronous module builds, supplementary implementation materials, quality assurance and revision cycles, and project management and administration. All work must comply with Colorado accessibility requirements and WCAG Level AA standards. The written questions deadline is March 20, 2026, with responses to inquiries published by March 23, 2026, and the quote submission deadline is March 27, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. MST, with estimated award notification on April 20, 2026, and a desired contract start date of May 1, 2026.

The solicitation does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting organizational types, nor does it identify incumbent vendors or current contractors. The contract will be structured as a personal services agreement governed by the State of Colorado's standard template, with a one-year initial term and the State retaining the right to extend for up to four additional months in compliance with Colorado Procurement Code and federal grant activity deadlines. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including workers' compensation, general liability ($1,000,000 minimum), and professional liability ($1,000,000 minimum), along with protected information liability insurance when handling confidential data. Pricing must remain firm during the initial contract term and include all fees associated with delivery of goods and services, with all payments tied to deliverables identified in the proposed timetable; respondents must also provide hourly rates for ad-hoc work including subject matter expert consultation, instructional design, accessibility checks and reviews, quality assurance audits, and project management and administration. No specific budget ceiling or award value is provided in the solicitation documents. The project is funded through a federal grant received by the Colorado Attorney General's Office, with invoices payable within 45 days of State acceptance.
