Psychological Evaluation Services

The State of Oregon, through the Department of Administrative Services on behalf of the Oregon Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision, is seeking qualified contractors to provide forensic psychological, psychiatric, and/or psychosexual evaluation services for adults in custody at six correctional facilities located in Western Oregon (Oregon State Penitentiary, Oregon State Correctional Institution, and Coffee Creek Correctional Facility) and Eastern Oregon (Two Rivers Correctional Institution, Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution, and Snake Rivers Correctional Institution). Services will be delivered virtually via Microsoft Teams or similar platforms, eliminating travel-related expenses. Proposers must select from four service categories: Psychiatric Evaluation, Psychological Evaluation, Psychosexual Evaluation, and Adolescent Development, with submission of expertise documentation required for those selecting the Adolescent Development category. Deliverables include comprehensive written evaluation reports submitted to the Board Chairperson within 45 days of receiving an evaluation request, containing substantive examination content, test results, diagnoses under the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and treatment or supervision recommendations. Contractors must possess appropriate professional licensure, maintain expertise in forensic evaluations, and demonstrate capacity to conduct evaluations on-demand with a guaranteed minimum of one evaluation during the contract term. The pricing structure is established at $220 per hour with a standard maximum of 20 hours per evaluation (equating to $4,400 per completed evaluation), extended to 23 hours for Juvenile Maturity Hearing and Psychosexual evaluations. The RFP was posted on April 22, 2026, with a proposal due date of May 13, 2026. The contract term extends through June 1, 2030, unless extended or terminated earlier. Questions regarding the solicitation were addressed through a Questions and Answers document dated April 28, 2026.

No specific set-asides for disadvantaged business enterprises are referenced in this procurement; however, all proposers must complete the Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan (Attachment F) demonstrating commitment to providing reasonable steps to ensure certified minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, or emerging small businesses can compete for subcontracting opportunities, consistent with Oregon Revised Statutes 200.055 and administered by the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID). No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. Proposers must maintain professional liability insurance with specified coverage limits, network security and privacy liability insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per claim, commercial general liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, and workers' compensation insurance as required by Oregon law. Contractors are prohibited from subcontracting services and must obtain professional visitor status at correctional facilities. Compensation is structured as a flat fee of $4,400 per completed evaluation, with additional hourly compensation of up to $220 per hour (maximum $4,620 per evaluation) allowed for consultations and evaluations where the person in custody refuses participation. The anticipated contract value is not specified; however, the minimum guaranteed work is one evaluation, with the actual award value dependent on the volume of evaluations requested during the contract term.
