Regional Training Providers RFQ

The Ohio Attorney General’s Office is seeking qualified public sector training and educational providers to enhance the capacity for delivering Advanced Training certified by the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy (OPOTA). The initiative aims to expand in-person training courses across various regions in Ohio while maintaining high-quality content and delivery. Providers are tasked with scheduling and delivering OPOTA-approved courses, assuming all associated costs, and submitting course completion records following the training. The expectation is for providers to offer a minimum of 12 OPOTA-approved courses between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2026, and at least six courses between January 1, 2027, and June 30, 2027. Essential conditions include having courses approved by OPOTA prior to offering them, providing all necessary materials, facilities meeting ADA standards with a capacity of at least 20 students, instructors meeting OPOTA qualifications, and maintaining daily attendance records to be submitted post-training. This initiative is scheduled to run from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, with the possibility of extending the agreement for an additional two-year term. The training will be carried out in various regions across Ohio, including Northwest, North Central, Northeast, West Central, Southwest, and Southeast. Through this effort, the AGO aims to engage and collaborate with regional public entities to facilitate and ensure the delivery of high-quality professional training to peace officers throughout the state. The overall financial estimate for this opportunity ranges between $500,000 and $2,000,000, reflecting the scope and importance of the task at hand.
