DQ DV Lethality & DVLAP

The Colorado Attorney General's Office is issuing 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) in Denver County and Denver City. The procurement requires a qualified vendor to design and produce three core online courses: a foundational course for law enforcement on domestic violence lethality dynamics and risk factors, a technical course for law enforcement on LAP administration procedures, and a specialized course for domestic violence advocates and community partners. Each course must be organized into short, digestible segments of 10-20 minutes in length, not exceeding 30 minutes per segment, with total course duration not to exceed 90 minutes. Mandatory qualifications require offerors to demonstrate experience with at least two past projects of similar size and complexity in asynchronous curriculum development for adult learners incorporating integrated graphics, animation, and recorded video; collaboration with subject matter experts to translate technical or research-based content into engaging virtual training materials; and development of 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 with subject matter expert-led instructional segments. 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 services, and project management and administration. The written inquiry deadline was March 20, 2026, the proposal submission deadline is April 3, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. MST, award notification is estimated for April 20, 2026, and the desired contract start date is May 1, 2026. The anticipated contract term is one calendar year from the effective date, with the State retaining the right to extend for up to four additional months. Award will be made to the responsible respondent whose acceptable quote is determined most advantageous to the State, with price being the primary consideration along with demonstrated experience and proposed methodology.

The solicitation documents do not identify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or preferences for specific organizational types, suggesting this is an open competition. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement materials, and no existing infrastructure or technology requiring integration is specified. The funding for this project derives from a federal grant received by the Colorado Attorney General's Office to support statewide DVLAP implementation, though the specific budget allocation or award value range is not disclosed in the available solicitation materials. Respondents must submit three separate documents: a Narrative Response addressing qualifications and project understanding, a Work Plan with proposed timeline and deliverables, and a Cost Proposal with itemized pricing tied to specific deliverable classes including subject matter expert consultation, content development, multimedia graphic design, course pilot, and project management, with hourly rates required for ad-hoc work including subject matter expert services, instructional design, accessibility checks, quality assurance audits, and project management. Proposed pricing must remain firm during the initial contract term, and the State reserves the right to cancel the solicitation or reject any or all quotes at its discretion.
