The City of Jacksonville's Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee is considering appropriating $94,080 to Operation New Uniform, Inc. This funding is for a career-readiness coaching program that will offer participants AI role-play software. The program is planned to run from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The city is proposing to waive competitive bidding rules to allow a direct contract with Operation New Uniform, Inc. This item is currently pending review by the committee. While this is not a construction project, it involves the procurement of services and technology. Businesses that provide career coaching, AI software, or related training services may find opportunities. Early engagement with Operation New Uniform, Inc. before the contract is finalized could be advantageous.
