Pre-Trial Assessment Tool Revalidation

Montgomery County, Maryland is seeking a qualified contractor to perform a comprehensive Pre-Trial Assessment Tool Revalidation for the Department of Correction and Rehabilitation's Community Corrections Division. The procurement is structured as a Request for Proposals (RFP #1184597) soliciting an experienced company or professional with advanced technical expertise in criminal justice assessment tools. The primary objectives include evaluating and revalidating the Pre-Trial Services risk assessment and supervision tools, designing potential modifications, and converting paper forms to web-based searchable formats. Specific contractor qualifications require at least five years of experience creating pre-trial assessments, advanced statistical analysis capabilities in criminal justice settings, and expertise in demographic data analysis and Oracle database platforms. Proposals must be electronically submitted through BidNet Direct by 3:00 pm on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, with a proposed contract term of one year and potential one-year renewal option. The evaluation will be conducted by a Qualification and Selection Committee (QSC) using a point-based scoring system that considers technical expertise, methodology, report quality, tool conversion, cost, and other factors.

The RFP includes provisions for Minority, Female, Disabled (MFD) participation and incorporates the County's Wage Requirements Law, suggesting potential set-aside or preference considerations for disadvantaged business enterprises. Contractors will be required to interface with three criminal justice application systems and provide written reports within three months of completing revalidation work. Payment will be processed monthly within 30 days after the County's receipt and acceptance of invoices. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantive professional services contract. The procurement appears designed to enhance the county's pre-trial assessment capabilities by securing a technically sophisticated vendor capable of providing advanced statistical analysis, tool redesign, and comprehensive reporting services for the criminal justice system.
