Cultural Transformation & Staff Consultation

The contract seeks a subcontractor to provide ongoing consultation aimed at embedding trauma-responsive practices into the daily operations, policies, and team dynamics of facilities operated by the Colorado Department of Human Services, Youth Corrections division. The work focuses on cultural transformation by supporting staff and leadership in adopting approaches that recognize, respond to, and mitigate the impacts of trauma across all levels of youth correctional services. This includes advising on the integration of trauma-informed principles into behavioral protocols, staff training frameworks, institutional policies, and interpersonal interactions to foster safer, more supportive environments for both youth and staff. The solicitation is open for responses until May 26, 2026, under a subcontract arrangement classified under NAICS code 541611 for management consulting services. While the physical location of performance is not specified, the work is intended to support operations across all DYS facilities in Colorado. The contract emphasizes sustained engagement rather than a one-time intervention, requiring the contractor to build long-term capacity within the organization through coaching, feedback loops, and systemic change strategies. No set-aside type or agency point of contact is indicated, and bidders must access the opportunity through the provided external link to submit proposals.
