RFI 2027-07-VPA Unconscious Bias Training

The Virginia Port Authority (VPA) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather budgetary proposals and technical approaches for an unconscious bias training program. The selected vendor will design and deliver evidence‑based training aimed at increasing awareness of unconscious bias, promoting equitable decision‑making, and equipping VPA employees with practical strategies to recognize and mitigate bias in day‑to‑day operations. This opportunity is open to qualified training providers with experience in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) curriculum development and delivery. • Scope includes curriculum design, facilitator‑led workshops, and post‑training resources for VPA staff. • Deliverables must be tailored to VPA’s operational contexts (port logistics, safety, customer service). • Proposals are due by early September 2026, with a short evaluation window before award.
