National Training and Technical Assistance Center for the USDOJ/OJP/BJA

This acquisition provides for the continued operation and management of the Bureau of Justice Assistance's (BJA's) National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC). The BJA NTTAC facilitates the delivery of high-quality, strategically focused training and technical assistance (TTA) to achieve safe communities nationwide. BJA NTTAC works to improve the criminal justice system by providing rapid, expert, coordinated, and data-driven TTA to support practitioners in the effort to reduce crime, recidivism, and unnecessary confinement in state, local, and tribal communities. BJA NTTAC provides no-cost training and specialized guidance to the field - also known as technical assistance - both in-person and virtually on a wide variety of criminal justice topics aligned with the mission of BJA. BJA provides leadership and services in grant administration and criminal justice policy development to support local, state, and tribal law enforcement in achieving safer communities. BJA supports programs and initiatives in the areas of law enforcement, justice information sharing, countering terrorism, managing offenders, combating drug crime and abuse, adjudication, advancing tribal justice, crime prevention, protecting vulnerable populations, and capacity building. In the addition, the role of BJA NTTAC is to serve as the "central hub" for information on all TTA services offered by BJA. The coordination of and collection of data for all TTA services will assist BJA's state, local, and tribal stakeholders; BJA; and its national partners to understand the TTA services that are offered more clearly and comprehensively, reduce unnecessary duplication, and maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the services that are planned and delivered. BJA NTTAC will support BJA to provide guidance on improving the overall quality of TTA services to ensure BJA is meeting the TTA needs of its customers and supporting the Administration goals. Q&A deadline is 1:00PM ET July 7, 2021. Questions received after this date may not be answered.
