DJJ Psychological Services - Mental Health Service Providers

The Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) is seeking multiple service contractors to provide comprehensive psychological and mental health evaluation services for juveniles in local detention facilities. The procurement seeks qualified mental health service providers to conduct specific types of evaluations, including Psychological Evaluations Level 1, Psychological Updates, Mental Health Evaluations Level 2, Psychosexual Evaluations, and Psychosexual Updates. Potential contractors must demonstrate expertise in juvenile mental health assessments and be capable of delivering detailed, professional evaluations for juveniles committed to the department. The solicitation was posted on February 18, 2025, with proposals due by March 14, 2025. Evaluation requirements are extensively detailed in various attachments, including Attachment A (Psychological Evaluation) and Attachment C (Psychological Information), which outline specific documentation, screening, and reporting standards. Interested vendors must carefully review the comprehensive specifications document and multiple attachments to understand the full scope of service requirements.

The contract opportunity appears to have provisions for small businesses, as evidenced by Attachment G (Small Business Subcontracting Plan) and Attachment H (Vendor Data Sheet), which suggest potential opportunities for diverse and small business participation. Vendors must complete the State Corporation Commission Form (Attachment F) and may need to demonstrate capabilities in specialized areas like Medication Assisted Treatment (referenced in Attachment D). While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the multi-contract approach indicates the potential for substantial service opportunities across various juvenile detention centers and homes. The procurement seems designed to establish a pool of qualified mental health professionals who can provide critical assessment services for juvenile justice settings. Additional requirements include comprehensive documentation, adherence to specific evaluation protocols, and potential integration with existing departmental screening and transition processes.
