Suicide Risk Assessment & Management Training Program

The contract seeks to develop and deliver specialized training programs focused on suicide risk assessment and management for Veteran populations, with emphasis on evidence-based tools such as the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale, safety planning, lethal means counseling, and crisis response protocols. The training must be culturally and clinically tailored to meet the unique needs of Veterans, ensuring providers are equipped with practical, actionable skills to identify, assess, and intervene in suicide risk scenarios effectively. The program is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Veterans Affairs, administered by the Strategic Acquisition Center Fredericksburg, with performance expected to be centered in Fredericksburg. The solicitation was posted on April 28, 2026, and responses are due by May 14, 2026, at 7:00 PM Eastern Time. The North American Industry Classification System code 611430 indicates the work falls under other schools and instruction, pointing to a focus on professional training and education rather than clinical services. While specific funding or award details are not outlined, the structure implies a requirement for qualified entities to design, implement, and potentially scale a training curriculum that aligns with VA standards and Veteran-centric best practices. There is no set-aside designation specified, so all eligible organizations may compete.
