The contractors will work closely with a Tribal Justice Support representative, whose role and focus will be to coordinate the reviews, and review the documents for consistency based on the standards set forth in the Trial Court Performance Standards (TCPS) and by TJS. The objective is for TJS to meet its statutory required objectives and assist TJS in its endeavor to provide appropriate information to Congressional appropriations staff and the Office of Management and Budget, through the tribal court reviews. Further, the completion of tribal court reviews are a part of TJS standards under the Government Performance and Results Act (GIPRA) and thus the review process is essential for TJS to meet its goals under GIPRA. The reviews also provide insight into necessary trainings needed in Indian Country. In order for TJS to achieve its statutory requirements, the contractors/vendors will be required to a complete a three-prong evaluation mechanism based on the TCPS model. TJS has determined that the new tribal court reviews will be based on the Trial Court Performance Standards (TCPS) model which define optimal court performance and are viewed as a blueprint for improving the administration of justice by focusing on performance, self-assessment and self-improvement of the trial court. In addition to providing guidance for TJS on appropriate training, these tribal court reviews provide a conceptual framework of performance areas, community perception, standards and measures and focus on tribal courts' operational activities, codes, procedures, and budget limitations Moreover, the tribal court reviews are often a basis of one-time funding decisions made by TJS. Finally, TJS is charged with maintaining an information clearinghouse on tribal justice systems and Courts of Indian Offenses. These reviews provide a detailed court profile data base for the creation of a clearing house that will include tribal codes, judicial decisions and court profiles. THIS IS A REQEUST FOR INFORMATION ONLY- CLOSE DATE: JUNE 29, 2012 at 10:00am EST. AN ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE POSTED ON WWW.FBO.GOV IF A COMPETITIVE ACTION WILL BE PROCURED.
