The City of Jacksonville Rules Committee is considering an appropriation of $94,080 to Operation New Uniform, Inc. for a career-readiness coaching program. This program will offer participants access to AI role-play software. The proposed grant term is from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The city is considering waiving a standard competitive award process to allow a direct contract with Operation New Uniform, Inc. This item is currently pending review. The project involves the implementation of a coaching program and the provision of AI software, which may require administrative support, IT services for software integration, and potentially office supplies or related services. Businesses offering professional services, IT support, or administrative assistance could find opportunities by engaging with Operation New Uniform, Inc. early in the process, before final contract details and program specifics are set.
