DQ DV Lethality & DVLAP

The Colorado Attorney General's Office has issued a Documented Quote (DQ) solicitation for the development of a comprehensive asynchronous virtual training curriculum to support statewide implementation of the Domestic Violence Lethality Assessment Protocol (DVLAP). This procurement is directed by Denver County and Denver City jurisdictions and requires the selected vendor to design and produce three core courses: a foundational course for law enforcement on domestic violence lethality dynamics and risk factors, a technical course on administering the Lethality Assessment Protocol with fidelity, and a course for domestic violence advocates and community partners on their role in the LAP process. Each course must be structured into short, digestible segments ranging from 10 to 20 minutes in length with individual segments not exceeding 30 minutes, and the entire course content must not exceed 90 minutes total duration. The curriculum must incorporate adult learning principles, scenario-based instruction, professional-grade video production, and supplementary implementation materials such as quick-reference job aids and fidelity checklists. Respondents must demonstrate at least two past projects of similar size and complexity involving asynchronous curriculum development for adult learners, collaboration with subject matter experts to translate technical content into virtual training materials, and development of supplementary implementation materials, with preferred qualifications including domestic violence curriculum design experience, accessibility compliance including ADA standards and closed captioning, and professional video production with subject matter expert-led instructional segments. The solicitation was published on March 13, 2026, with a deadline for written questions on March 20, 2026, and a quote submission deadline of March 27, 2026, with award notification estimated for April 20, 2026, and a desired contract start date of May 1, 2026. The evaluation will prioritize price and cost as the primary consideration, with award made to the responsible respondent whose acceptable quote is determined most advantageous to the State.

The solicitation documents do not identify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting the types of organizations that can respond, nor is any incumbent vendor or current contractor information provided. The contract will be executed as a personal services agreement in accordance with Colorado state standards, requiring contractors to maintain all applicable licenses and certifications, comply with Colorado law and federal regulations, and carry appropriate insurance including workers' compensation and general liability with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence, along with professional liability insurance. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available procurement documents; however, vendors must submit detailed cost proposals organized by deliverable classes including subject matter expert consultation, content development, multimedia design, course pilot testing, and project management, with hourly rates provided for ad-hoc work in instructional design, accessibility reviews, quality assurance audits, and administration. The anticipated contract term is one calendar year from the effective date, with the State reserving the right to extend for up to four additional months in compliance with federal grant deadlines. Pricing must remain firm during the initial contract term and include all fees associated with service delivery, with payment due within 45 days of invoice submission.
