Suicide Prevention Consulting and Process Assessment

The Department of Defense, through the W6QM Micc-Fdo at Fort Hood, Texas, is seeking a professional consultant to conduct an independent, evidence-based assessment of the III Armored Corps suicide prevention and postvention systems. The objective is to move from a reactive crisis response to a proactive prevention framework by auditing current policies and protocols, identifying systemic gaps, and providing actionable recommendations to improve unit readiness and force preservation. This effort is critical due to the high-tempo operational cycles of the installation, including deployments and training rotations, which create significant mental health challenges. This sources-sought opportunity, identified by solicitation number W56ZLW26R0017 and NAICS code 621112, requires specialized expertise to supplement existing organic resources. Interested parties must respond by September 3, 2026. The resulting contract will focus on delivering a multi-method audit of installation programs to ensure that suicide prevention strategies are aligned with evidence-based interventions.
