Forensic Psychologist

The District of Columbia's Office of Contracting and Procurement, acting on behalf of the Department on Behavioral Health (DBH), is seeking a qualified Forensic Psychologist to provide specialized assessment services. This procurement opportunity, identified by the contract ID 66c85a71829eb5d8690727ba, was posted on October 14, 2016, with a proposal submission deadline of October 18, 2016. The primary objective is to secure an experienced contractor capable of delivering comprehensive forensic psychology assessment services, which likely involve evaluating individuals within the behavioral health system for legal, clinical, or administrative purposes. The contract requires a highly skilled professional with advanced credentials in forensic psychology, demonstrating expertise in psychological assessment, report writing, and potential expert testimony. Specific deliverables are expected to include detailed psychological evaluations, risk assessments, diagnostic reports, and potentially recommendations for treatment or legal interventions. The short window between posting and due date (four days) suggests an urgent or time-sensitive procurement need for these professional services.

While the provided documentation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, the specialized nature of the work implies that respondents must possess significant professional qualifications, likely including advanced degrees, licensure, and demonstrated experience in forensic psychology. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. The contract appears focused on securing an individual professional service rather than a large-scale organizational contract. The precise budget range or award value is not disclosed in the available information, which is typical for professional services procurements that often negotiate compensation based on specific scope and expertise. Potential contractors should be prepared to demonstrate their professional credentials, experience in forensic psychological assessments, and ability to meet the District of Columbia's Department on Behavioral Health's specific service requirements.
