Decision Support System Validation, Improvements, and SCSO Auditing Tool

The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) in Washington, DC, is conducting market research for a Decision Support System Validation, Improvements, and SCSO Auditing Tool project. The agency seeks qualified firms to perform four critical tasks within a community correctional setting: testing CSOSA's custom offender risk instrument (DARUS) for usability and reliability, developing technical specifications to improve the DARUS instrument and integrate the Client Change Scale, developing technical specifications to improve the Case Plan and integrate the CSOSA Play Book, and creating an automated auditing instrument for managers to assess supervision staff performance. Interested businesses must submit detailed responses including company information, SAM registration status, business size status, certifications, and details about 1-2 similar projects completed within the last 5 years. The submission deadline is June 27, 2025, at 11:59 PM EDT via email to catherine.collins@csosa.gov. The work falls under NAICS code 541720 (Research and Development in Social Sciences and Humanities) with evaluation focusing on demonstrated experience in similar community corrections projects.

This opportunity is designated as a set-aside for Woman-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) certified by the Small Business Administration. The small business size standard for this NAICS code is $28 million in average annual receipts. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation. While specific contract values or budget ranges are not disclosed in this market research phase, the comprehensive scope suggests a substantial multi-phase project requiring specialized expertise in correctional assessment tools and case management systems. This sources sought notice represents preliminary market research only and does not guarantee the issuance of a future solicitation or contract award.
