Media Training and Coaching Service

The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice is conducting a single-source procurement for media training and coaching services through the North Florida Chapter of NOBLE (National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives). The contract involves conducting "Law and Your Community Presentations" throughout Florida schools and communities, with a specific focus on improving citizen communications with law enforcement officers and enhancing understanding of federal, state, and local laws. The procurement is designed as an interactive training program targeting both students and parents, with services to be delivered from December 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. Potential vendors are required to submit information demonstrating their capability to provide these specialized services by December 10, 2024. The procurement is being processed under Florida Statutes Sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3), with oversight from the Assistant Secretary Admin/Probation Performance division. Key objectives include developing more effective communication strategies between citizens and law enforcement, and providing comprehensive legal education across community settings.

The procurement appears to be specifically targeted to the North Florida Chapter NOBLE as a sole-source provider, with no explicit mention of set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract has an estimated value of $40,000 for the service period, which runs approximately seven months. While the document suggests this is a targeted procurement, it leaves open the possibility for other vendors to demonstrate their capabilities by the December 10, 2024 response deadline. The procurement will be evaluated based on the vendor's ability to meet the specific training and educational objectives outlined in the Law and Your Community program. The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice will review submissions to determine if the services are truly available from a single source, in accordance with Florida Administrative Code Rule 60A-1.045. The contract will be administered through the Leon County jurisdiction, which is identified in the procurement documentation.
