Qualified individuals and companies are invited to submit statements of qualifications demonstrating their ability to provide the required services as outlined in the Statement of Work. All vendors and psychologists employed by vendors must meet the minimum mandatory qualifications set forth in California Government Code Section 1031(f) and POST Regulation 1955 (Peace Officer Psychological Evaluation) administered by the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) program.

The bulletin emphasizes that vendors must provide references and supporting documentation demonstrating that each psychologist employed will meet the regulatory requirements for psychological evaluators as specified in POST Regulation 1955, Paragraph (a)(1).
