About this opportunity
San Mateo County Probation Department is requesting proposals for annual training curriculum services covering approximately 220–250 sworn and non-sworn probation staff across three locations, with proposals due August 18, 2026, and a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting on July 28, 2026.
Training must comply with Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC), California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), and California Code of Regulations Title 15 mandates across ten subject categories: Safety, Liability & Risk Management, Behavioral Health & Crisis Response, Equity & Bias Awareness, Field Operations, Evidence-Based Practices, Investigations & Special Populations, Leadership Development, Officer Wellness, and Ethics & Professional Standards. A local preference of up to 5 percent is available, with an additional 3 percent (or 5 percent for micro-businesses) as a local-business or non-profit bonus.
Proposers must hold Standards and Training for Corrections (STC) certification or demonstrate ability to obtain it, possess at least three years of relevant training experience within the last five years, and have three years of probation or law enforcement training experience. All training materials must be delivered in advance of sessions; staff satisfaction scores must reach 90 percent or greater on course evaluations; and attendance rosters must be submitted within ten business days.
The contract term is three years commencing July 1, 2027, with one optional two-year extension at the County's sole discretion. In-person training occurs at San Mateo County Youth Services Center, 222 Paul Scannell Drive, San Mateo, California. The County reserves the right to award multiple contracts by training discipline or a single prime contractor with subcontractors. Evaluation occurs in two phases: Phase 1 (100 points) scores project approach (30 points), trainer qualifications and experience (35 points), safety and compliance (10 points), innovation (5 points), and cost (15 points); Phase 2 (100 points) assesses interviews, standardized questions, scenario-based exercises, and professionalism. Interviews are tentatively scheduled for October 5–6, 2026, with anticipated award July 1, 2027. Proposers must register with SAM.gov and provide a valid Unique Entity ID. The contract template specifies insurance requirements of $1 million general liability, $1 million motor vehicle liability, and $1 million professional liability, plus compliance with HIPAA, ADA, Section 504, the County's Living Wage Ordinance, and prevailing wage requirements where applicable.
Opportunity text
The San Mateo County Probation Department ("Department") employs approximately 220-250 staff in three (3) locations: Redwood City, San Mateo, and South San Francisco. Probation personnel encompass a wide variety of diverse professionals in both Sworn and Non-Sworn capacities.
The Department is responsible for the supervision of approximately 2,500 adult and juvenile probationers. Probation represents the link between the application of appropriate consequences for illegal and delinquent behavior and the establishment of offenders transitioning to productive, law-abiding lives. This specialized criminal justice role of probation is a successful and cost-effective balance of both enforcement and treatment. Deputy Probation Officers (DPOs) are responsible for monitoring probationers in the community by enforcing court-ordered restrictions and providing access to rehabilitation programs, as well as promoting victim safety and restoration.
The Department's Professional Standards Unit coordinates and conducts mandated training for sworn officers, as well as administrative professionals. The Department is seeking qualified vendors to provide annual, standards-compliant training services for approximately 220-250 Sworn and Non-Sworn probation staff across adult, juvenile and institutions, and administrative divisions. The Department's mission includes ensuring public safety, staff readiness, legal compliance, and evidence-based supervision practices. Annual training is mandated by regulatory bodies, including the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC), California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), and California Code of Regulations Title 15.
The goal is to standardize skills sets and ensure high-level professional growth across the 2027 to 2030 training calendar year. Subject to compliance with all terms and conditions, the timeline for the term of this Agreement shall be up to three (3) years, with a commencing start date of July 1, 2027, including one (1) option to extend the term for an additional period not to exceed two (2) years.
The Department requires a comprehensive, scalable, and compliant training program that:
- Ensures all staff meet annual certification requirements
- Enhances officer safety and field readiness
- Maintains legal and procedural compliance
- Incorporates modern training methodologies
The Department reserves the right to award multiple contracts by training discipline, or award a single prime contractor with subcontractors.
