Services-Crisis Management Certification and Recertification Training

The Maryland Department of Juvenile Services is requesting quotes for instructor certification and recertification training in Crisis Management services for staff at Charles H. Hickey, Jr. School, with a due date of January 4, 2026.

The scope calls for one initial five-day Crisis Management Instructor Training delivered in person to ten DJS employees. The program must address crisis prevention and restoration of youth to a healthy state, with the stated objective of decreasing escalations and use of physical restraint.

Bidders must complete and submit the Bid Proposal Affidavit (Attachment A) and Contract Affidavit (Attachment U), both effective July 2024. The Bid Proposal Affidavit requires certification of compliance with commercial nondiscrimination policies, minority business enterprise requirements, veteran-owned small business enterprise laws, absence of criminal convictions related to fraud, embezzlement, antitrust violations, tax evasion, prevailing wage violations, and debarment status. Additional certifications address contingent fees, tax compliance, Iran investments, conflict minerals sourcing, and discriminatory boycotts.

The Contract Affidavit requires vendors to certify business registration and good standing with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation. Vendors receiving $200,000 or more in aggregate state contracts within a calendar year must comply with financial disclosure and political contribution disclosure requirements under Maryland Election Law. All contractors must maintain drug and alcohol-free workplace certification under COMAR 21.11.08, including employee notification policies, prohibition of working under the influence, awareness programs, and reporting of workplace drug-related convictions to law enforcement within ten days, with sanctions or rehabilitation required within thirty days. Violation may result in contract suspension, termination for default, or suspension and debarment proceedings.

The place of performance is Charles H. Hickey, Jr. School in Baltimore County, Maryland.
