The Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ) is procuring a specialized Non-Violence Crisis Intervention training program through a sole source contract with the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI). The procurement focuses on implementing comprehensive de-escalation and crisis intervention training for IDJJ employees, mandated under the federal RJ V. Mueller consent decree. The contract requires CPI to provide train-the-trainer sessions, certification materials, ongoing technical support, and annual membership renewals for verbal de-escalation and non-violent crisis intervention techniques. Specific deliverables include Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI) Certified Instructor training at $3,899, NCI Renewal at $1,399, and Verbal Intervention (VI) Certified Instructor training at $2,999. Workbooks will be priced on a tiered scale ranging from $33.29 to $31.29 per workbook depending on quantity. The contract is scheduled to run from June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, with a submission deadline of May 27, 2025. Vendor qualifications include the ability to provide comprehensive training certification and meet stringent security and background check requirements.

The contract appears to be open to the specific vendor (CPI) under sole source conditions, with no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned. The maximum total contract value is $75,000.00, funded through state appropriations and contingent upon fund availability. CPI will be responsible for providing all necessary training infrastructure, including certification materials, workbooks, and ongoing technical support. The contract includes provisions for background checks for vendor personnel and requires comprehensive insurance and compliance obligations. Integration will involve implementing the training program across IDJJ facilities, with the primary goal of enhancing staff de-escalation and crisis intervention capabilities. Potential termination of the contract is possible if state funding becomes insufficient, providing flexibility for the state's budgetary constraints.
