7013 Pre Employment Psychological Evaluation

The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) has issued Request for Quotes (RFQ) #7013 for pre-employment psychological evaluations for Corrections Officer applicants. The procurement seeks a qualified psychologist to conduct comprehensive psychological assessments that include a written test battery, one-on-one psychological examination, and a detailed written report evaluating candidate psychological suitability for law enforcement employment. The contractor must be an Oregon-licensed psychologist (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) with a minimum of five years of psychological testing experience, including two years of pre-employment evaluations for public agencies. The evaluation must assess multiple criteria such as emotional regulation, stress tolerance, social competence, assertiveness, teamwork, adaptability, and multicultural awareness. Each evaluation will result in a "Qualified" or "Unqualified" rating for applicants, accompanied by a detailed explanatory report. The RFQ was posted on August 11, 2025, with quotes due on August 18, 2025, at 2:00 pm PT. Proposers will be evaluated based on price, experience, and expertise, and must provide information about their evaluation methodology, key personnel, professional experience, and a comprehensive price breakdown for services.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The RFQ does not indicate any incumbent vendors or existing contractors currently performing these psychological evaluations. While no specific budget range was provided, the contract appears to be for individual psychological assessment services with pricing likely dependent on the number of evaluations conducted. The requirement for an Oregon-licensed psychologist with significant pre-employment evaluation experience suggests a specialized and potentially competitive procurement. The focus on detailed psychological assessments for corrections officer candidates indicates a rigorous selection process aimed at ensuring candidate psychological fitness for a high-stress law enforcement role. Potential respondents should carefully review the complete RFQ documentation to understand the full scope of requirements and evaluation criteria.
