Contracting Officer, 20-305-7745 The Office of Justice Programs (OJP), National Institute of Justice (NIJ), attends to award on a sole source basis a purchase order to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management, Kennedy School of Government, 79 John F. Kennedy Street, Cambridge, MA 02138. President and Fellows of Harvard College shall provide to NIJ the consulting services of David Kennedy to produce a synthesis of the relevant deterrence theory literature and its application to the solution of local level crime and disorder problems. NIJ and other agencies within DOJ have sponsored a number of important initiatives and programs which have adopted a problem solving approach to deterring criminal justice and quality of life problems at the local level. Evaluations of some of these initiatives have shown them to be usually effective in identifying and resolving serious problems of crime and disorder in particular communities nationwide. NIJ wishes to procure services to produce a publication which would translate the lessons learned in previous problem-solving initiatives and a synthesis of the existing deterrence theories and literature to guidelines for local jurisdictions who wish to implement similar approaches in NIJ's efforts to solve problems of crime, disorder, and quality of life. Mr. Kennedy has been central to the successful implementation of such problem solving deterrence models in Boston, Minneapolis, Baltimore, and in the five cities in DOJ's Strategic Approaches to Community Safety Initiative (SACSI). Mr. Kennedy is constantly called upon by various jurisdictions for advise on implementation of similar approaches to local problems. Mr. Kennedy's knowledge and experience in the application of deterrence theory to the solution of criminal justice and quality of life problems will benefit NIJ greatly in its efforts to produce a problem solving approach to deterring criminal justice and quality of life problems at the local level. This purchase order shall be negotiated in accordance with the authority of 41 U.S.C. 2152 (c)(1) -- Only one responsible source with unique capabilities. This in NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. Any interested firms may submit their technical capabilities. Posted 04/26/00 (W-SN448948). (0117)
