NHSP Pre-Employment Psychological Exam

The State of New Hampshire, specifically the Department of Safety, Division of State Police, is seeking a qualified vendor to provide pre-employment psychological examinations for State Police Probationary Troopers, Marine Patrol Officers, and State Office Complex Police Officers. This Request for Proposal (RFP) DOS 2024-012 covers a three-year contract with an option to extend for an additional two years. The selected vendor must be a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist capable of conducting 60-minute psychological evaluations, administering standardized tests, and preparing written reports within three days of examination. Key requirements include being located within 30 minutes of Concord, NH, and providing comprehensive psychological assessments to determine candidate suitability for law enforcement positions. The original proposal due date was March 8, 2024, at 2:30 PM EST, but Addendum #2 modified this to March 15, 2024, at 2:00 PM EST. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on the vendor's ability to meet service requirements, proximity to Concord, turnaround time, and quality of proposed psychological assessment methodology.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documents. The RFP prohibits subcontracting without prior written agency approval, indicating a preference for direct service provision. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the contract appears to be for a new service arrangement with a potential total contract value spanning five years (July 2024 to June 2029). The attachment indicates pricing will be based on per-candidate exam rates and potential cancellation fees, though specific budget ranges were not disclosed. Vendors must submit detailed pricing for each year of the potential five-year contract term, with the expectation of providing 60-minute psychological examinations and associated reporting. The State of New Hampshire reserves the right to offset any amounts owed to the contractor and will determine specific payment terms in the final contract.
