About this file

This document is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Montana Office of State Public Defender (OPD) for contract attorney services. The solicitation, numbered OPD-RFP/RFQ-2019-0038, was open from 4/24/2019 to 4/24/2021, seeking qualified private attorneys to provide representation in criminal and civil matters throughout the state. Attorneys interested in becoming Contract Public Defenders were required to respond by completing a series of mandatory questions and uploading specific documentation, including a fillable PDF form, current resume, writing sample, proof of professional liability insurance, and a recent Continuing Legal Education (CLE) transcript.

The RFQ requires attorneys to confirm their current or recent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) status with OPD, with a provision allowing those whose MOU expired less than 30 days prior to still be considered. The solicitation is specifically coded under Commodity Code 3920 for Professional Services - Legal Services, with the primary contact being Brett Schandelson, reachable at Brett.Schandelson@mt.gov or +1 406-523-5142. No specific monetary value or funding details are provided in the document, and there are no product or service line items listed. The document appears to be a standard qualification process for expanding OPD's pool of contract attorneys who can be appointed to handle legal cases.
