The DHS Mental Health Expert Services 2010-2015 Master IDIQ contract vehicle was designed to provide specialized mental health professional services to the Department of Homeland Security's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. This multiple-award contract enabled the agency to rapidly procure expert mental health consultation, assessment, and support services through pre-qualified contractors. The vehicle allowed for task order-based acquisitions of professional services that could be quickly mobilized to support complex civil rights and civil liberties investigations and reviews.
Task orders under this contract likely involved comprehensive mental health evaluations, expert witness testimony, forensic psychological assessments, and detailed consultative services supporting the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties' investigative mandate. While specific task order details are not provided, such contracts typically involve mental health professionals with advanced credentials including psychologists, psychiatrists, and licensed clinical social workers. The contract's performance period from 2010 to 2015 suggests task orders were likely in the $50,000 to $250,000 range, with durations spanning several months to a year. Given the specialized nature of the work and the federal agency's requirements, task orders were likely competed among a small pool of pre-vetted mental health professionals with security clearances and extensive experience in forensic and investigative contexts.
