This is Addendum #1 to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the State of New Hampshire Department of Safety, Division of State Police, for Crisis Intervention Psychological Services supporting the New Hampshire State Police. The RFP seeks a qualified professional organization or individual, specifically a certified clinical psychologist licensed in New Hampshire, to provide crisis intervention support for active Troopers involved in Crisis Negotiations Unit (CNU) or Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) responses. The contract represents a new engagement rather than a renewal of an existing contract. Vendors must be available on-call 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, with services provided based on call-for-service and training needs rather than fixed daily requirements. The bid closing date is October 14, 2025, at 2:30 PM EST. The contract will be structured as a Firm Fixed Price/Not to Exceed agreement for three years with a potential two-year extension, covering approximately 100 hours of consultation services and administration annually, including active callout services, administrative support, training, scheduling, and after-action meetings.

The estimated budget for this contract is listed as "TBD" (to be determined), with pricing based on hourly rates for the services described. Subcontracting is not mandatory. Vendors must demonstrate at least five years of experience conducting acute psychological assessments for law enforcement. The RFP will be evaluated using a 100-point scoring system, with 70 points allocated to the technical proposal and 30 points to the price proposal. No incumbent vendors are identified, and the procurement does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to return the signed addendum with any changes and mark the bid invitation number and opening date on the remittance envelope; returned addenda will supersede previously submitted bids. Inquiries should be directed to NHSP-Contracts@dos.nh.gov.
