About this file
This is a Compliance Standards exhibit for a forensic analysis contract (2-696-IG-26-P034) between the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) and a contractor providing forensic analysis of physical evidence and expert witness testimony services. The contract requires the contractor to maintain Crime Laboratory accreditation and Forensic Analyst licensure in serology and nuclear DNA, conduct testing services only through licensed analysts and technicians at approved locations, comply with State of Texas travel requirements for expert testimony, maintain current Forensic Science Commission (FSC) licensure training records, and submit testing results within five working days of test completion. The contractor must invoice the TDCJ monthly, one calendar month in arrears, within ten working days of the invoice period.
The compliance standards establish payment adjustment and remedies for non-compliance with specified requirements. Failure to maintain proper accreditation and licensure, conducting services at unapproved locations, non-compliance with travel requirements, incomplete FSC training records, failure to submit timely test results, or failure to invoice within the required timeframe will result in withholding or suspension of payment. The TDCJ Fiscal Operations Department and the Office of the Inspector General Director have authority to withhold, temporarily suspend, or reinstate payments, with decisions conveyed to the contractor by letter. No invoices will be processed or paid for services that fail to meet the established compliance standards.
