Appendix 3 Bidder's Staff Qualification Checklist - Community Evaluations.pdf

This is a Bidder's Staff Qualification Checklist document prepared by the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services for the Community-Based Behavioral Health Evaluations solicitation #25-Multi-CS-BH-001. The checklist establishes mandatory staff qualification requirements for clinicians providing psychological, psychiatric, and psychosexual evaluations to adjudicated and alleged youth ages 12-20 across multiple regions in Maryland. The Department is seeking bids to award up to three contracts, one per geographic region (Eastern, Capital South, and Western), with bids due April 1, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a virtual pre-bid conference scheduled for March 18, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. The contract term runs five years from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2031 with no renewal options. Estimated annual service volumes include 150 psychological evaluations, 50 psychosexual evaluations, 15 consultations of each type, 5 court appearances, and up to 50 updated evaluations depending on region.

All clinical staff must meet specific experience requirements verified through the checklist: psychologists must demonstrate at least two years of post-doctoral experience providing psychological evaluations to court-involved youth and must submit redacted sample evaluation reports; psychiatrists similarly require two years of post-fellowship experience with psychiatric evaluations and supporting documentation; clinicians performing psychosexual evaluations must provide two years of adolescent psychosexual evaluation experience with sample reports not exceeding three years old. All submitted CVs or resumes are limited to three pages, and bidders must include copies of current licenses in good standing. Maryland State Police, Child Protective Services, and Federal Bureau of Investigation background check results are mandatory for all assigned personnel prior to service delivery. The document serves as the qualification verification mechanism requiring bidders to confirm compliance with criminal background screening requirements and professional licensure standards established in Section 3.3.2 of the solicitation.
