- This is a sources sought/Request for Information notice for information only. This sources sought is for the purpose of conducting market research to provide data for planning purposes. This sources sought synopsis announcement does not constitute a formal solicitation, and is not a request for proposal, request for quote, invitation for bid, does not obligate the government to award a contract, issue a solicitation, reimburse respondents for any proposal preparation and/or submittal costs, nor does its issuance in any way restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition approach.

INL helps countries deliver justice and fairness by strengthening their courts, police forces, and corrections systems. These efforts reduce the amount of crime and illegal drugs reaching U.S. shores. The US Department of State�s (DOS) Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is an instrumental leader in the development of policies and programs to combat international narcotics and crime. INL programs support two of the Department of States' strategic goals: (1) to reduce the entry of illegal drugs into the United States; and (2) to minimize the impact of international crime on the United States and its citizens. One of the many ways to effectively meet the listed goals is to collaborate with allied governments both directly and indirectly to promote the modernization of and support the enforcement operations of their foreign criminal justice systems and law enforcement agencies. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime consistently ranks Belize among the top 10 countries in the world for homicides due to its small population and murder rate per capita, which averages just under 40 per 100,000 residents.
