From the meeting
Police also sought to apply for $133,572 from the BJA FY25 DNA Capacity Enhancement for Backlog Reduction Grant. The stated use is to speed DNA case turnaround with new software and lab supplies. Because the application was still pending, this is a pre-award funding signal tied to forensic technology and consumables.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
