Licensed psychological examiner for FWS LE

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking a licensed psychological examiner to conduct virtual pre-employment psychological examinations for Federal Wildlife Officer candidates. The contractor will perform comprehensive psychological evaluations including personal interviews and testing to assess candidates' social competence, emotional regulation, impulse control, decision-making abilities, stress tolerance, and risk-taking behaviors. The psychological examiner must be state-licensed with preference given to those experienced in conservation law enforcement, and must provide individual professional assessment reports for each candidate evaluated. The government will evaluate quotations based on price, specification/proposal compliance, and past performance from CPARS/FAPIIS and the Contracting Officer's personal knowledge. Quotations are due by July 18, 2025, at 1700 EDT and must be submitted electronically through the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform, with the original invoice copy sent to the designated contracting officer email address.

This solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services). The contract anticipates evaluating between 25 to 30 candidates, with contractors required to base their quotations on the maximum of 30 individuals, though the government reserves the right to reduce the final number of candidates to be evaluated. The period of performance spans one year from contract execution, with specific submission deadlines of August 15, 2025, for lateral hire candidates and October 1, 2025, for entry-level hire candidates. The examinations will be conducted virtually, eliminating geographic constraints for the place of performance. No incumbent contractor or potential award values are specified in the solicitation documents.
