Douglas County Polygraph Examination Services

Douglas County, through the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC), is seeking qualified independent contractors to provide polygraph examination services for adults on supervision. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) targets polygraph professionals specializing in post-conviction testing, specifically for sex offender and drug court offender examinations. Proposers must be licensed through the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) and meet minimum qualifications for conducting polygraph tests. The solicitation requires contractors to submit detailed pricing proposals and offer capabilities for sex offender and drug court offender polygraph examinations, with the potential to propose additional exam services. Key dates include a proposal submission deadline of October 18, 2022, at 2:00 PM, with the Notice of Intent to Award anticipated around October 25, 2022. The contract will commence upon execution and is structured for one-year increments with potential renewal periods. Contractors will be paid according to an agreed-upon rate schedule, with a total maximum compensation of $150,000 for all services performed under this solicitation.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises in the procurement documents. The RFQ appears open to independent contractors who meet the licensing and qualification requirements. No incumbent vendors are explicitly identified in the documentation. The contract allows for multiple awards, suggesting the county may establish contracts with several qualified polygraph providers. A notable contract provision includes a potential $50 no-show fee, which is negotiable, and flexibility on automobile liability insurance requirements if no business is conducted on Douglas County property. The network security and privacy liability insurance requirement has been removed after further consideration. While the total maximum compensation is set at $150,000, individual contractor compensation will depend on the agreed-upon rate schedule and the volume of polygraph examinations performed. The contract is specifically focused on post-conviction testing and does not include pre-trial testing for attorneys.
