Description

The IIId Armored Corps, headquartered at Fort Hood, Texas, requires an independent, evidence-based assessment of its current suicide prevention and postvention systems, policies, and protocols. Fort Hood operates under a high-tempo operational cycle that includes Combat Training Center rotations, deployments, and redeployment phases. Persistent mental health challenges and acute crises directly affect unit readiness and force preservation. Existing organic resources do not provide the specialized professional expertise in suicide prevention systems assessment and evidence-based intervention required to conduct an objective, multi-method audit of installation prevention programs, identify systemic gaps, and deliver actionable, evidence-based recommendations. This contract will supplement organic capabilities with external professional expertise, enabling the installation to transition from a reactive crisis response posture to a proactive, system-wide prevention framework.
