Executive Leadership Training Development

The Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission is seeking qualified vendors to develop and deliver a comprehensive 120-hour executive leadership training program tailored for mid- to senior-level law enforcement leaders across Washington. The contract, with an initial value of approximately $200,000, is set for a 12-month period with potential renewal options. The training must be offered at least six times annually, combining in-person sessions within Washington State and virtual components, and must accommodate groups of 12 to 20 participants. All course materials, including books, workbooks, and pre-reading, are to be provided by the contractor, who is also responsible for developing detailed syllabi, schedules, and assessments, including a capstone project and participant certificates. The scope emphasizes leadership at three levels: self-awareness, leading others, and organizational leadership, with an emphasis on practical application and post-course reporting. The procurement process is governed by Washington State laws, particularly RCW 39.26, and incorporates evaluation criteria that include curriculum quality, course requirements, instructor expertise, budget considerations, references, and state procurement preferences such as small business and veteran-owned status. Proposals must include completed exhibits certifying business status, qualifications, and compliance, and are evaluated on a point-based system culminating in a best-value award. The contract emphasizes confidentiality, ownership of developed materials by WSCJTC, and adherence to dispute resolution procedures. Administrative contacts are centralized through Holly White, and proposals must be submitted electronically by the specified deadline, following strict formatting and content guidelines. The contract also incorporates provisions for amendments, responsibility assessments, and public records disclosure, with no explicit federal FAR clauses or detailed packaging, shipping, or line-item specifications.
