PTSD Assessment Protocol Design & Training Delivery

The contract requires the development and delivery of standardized training programs focused on evidence-based PTSD screening tools such as the PCL-5 and CAPS-5, along with the diagnostic criteria outlined in the DSM-5 and trauma-informed assessment methodologies. The training is intended for non-VA healthcare providers who need to accurately identify and evaluate PTSD in their patients, ensuring consistent, clinically validated approaches across external care settings. The content must be scientifically grounded, practical, and designed for effective knowledge transfer to professionals with varying levels of trauma experience. The work is being procured as a subcontract under the Department of Veterans Affairs through the Strategic Acquisition Center Fredericksburg, with a submission deadline of May 14, 2026. Training delivery is expected to align with federal standards for clinical education and must be scalable to accommodate diverse provider groups. The project falls under NAICS code 611430, indicating it is focused on other schools and instruction, and the performance location is Fredericksburg, though the specific venue is not detailed. All materials and instruction must meet quality benchmarks to support improved PTSD detection and care coordination outside the VA system.
