Mock Auditors

The Kentucky Department of Corrections, Justice and Public Safety Cabinet is seeking to contract with multiple qualified individuals to conduct up to eighteen American Correctional Association (ACA) mock audits per year at its thirteen adult correctional facilities, Division of Probation and Parole, Division of Corrections Training, Central Office, and Kentucky Correctional Industries. The selected auditors must have thorough knowledge of Department of Corrections (DOC) and ACA standards and cannot be current Commonwealth employees, though retired DOC employees and current ACA auditors are preferred. The audits will be conducted over a 2-3 day period, with one auditor designated as the chairperson to prepare the audit report. The Contract term is anticipated to be from 11/1/2024 through 6/30/2026, with two optional 2-year renewal periods. Pricing for the audits is set at $500 per day, with no additional expenses authorized for payment. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical criteria including references and experience conducting ACA audits.

The Commonwealth reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, and may request oral presentations and negotiations to determine the best and final offer. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed. The total budget for this procurement is not specified.
