Victim Services Data Integration Project

Description

This Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks a qualified organization to complete a data systems inventory and integration project for the VSSN. Specifically, during the data systems inventory, the contractor will be support the assessment of the current landscape of data platforms, data collection practices, roles and responsibilities, and data-sharing agreements across VSSN partners. Following the inventory, the contractor will support implementation of enhanced data collection and standardized reporting practices to better track VSSN outcomes. This may include strengthening data-sharing infrastructure and identifying feasible, cost-conscious approaches to improving interoperability and inter-agency collaboration.Effective data collection, referral tracking, and information sharing are essential to the success of the Victim Services Support Network (VSSN) and its ability to coordinate services across partner organizations. Currently, VSSN partners operate across multiple independent data platforms shaped by differing legal requirements, funding mandates, and organizational capacity. While these systems support individual agency reporting, they significantly limit shared visibility into referrals, services provided, and unmet needs across the network.
