Harris County
The existing Institute of Forensic Sciences building is undersized for its needs. Along with a growing staff size, additional services are required as Harris County\u2019s population continues to grow. County Engineering leaders initiated an IFS Program to project future growth of the departments housed in the existing IFS Building. The results showed that the existing facility configuration limits the operational capacity of the Medical Examiner Services and Crime Laboratory Services being performed. Regarding Medical Examiner Services, the following operations will benefit from this project: Morgue Services, Morgue Cooler Storage, and Property DNA & Information Systems. Note that the morgue expansion is a necessary and immediate need for the County due to the rising caseloads of homicides. Currently, funeral home directors are on backlog, so the morgue is holding decedents longer, thus the immediate need to expand the decedent cooler storage space. Regarding Crime Laboratory Services, the following research activity/capacity and operations will benefit from this project: Forensic Genetics, Forensic Toxicology, Drug Chemistry, Trace Evidence, and Evidence Intake & Firearms Identification.

Procurement pursuit intelligence
This project has been enacted. FFID maps funded projects to likely downstream procurement channels — including recipient portals, state and local systems, agency programs, and Grants.gov. SAM.gov is monitored, but many CPF/CDS-funded opportunities appear first through recipient or state/local procurement systems.

Multiple channels — see below
FFID could not determine the procurement channel with high confidence for this agency and category combination. Check the agency program page, Grants.gov, the state procurement portal, and the recipient's own procurement page.
Agency not specifically mapped. Check Grants.gov and the recipient's own procurement portal.
Discovery sources to check manually
Discovery onlyThese portals are not verified matches for this project. SAM.gov and state portals are general search starting points — not confirmed procurement channels.
Not project-specific. Portal coverage varies by state. Check all channels manually.
