Public Notice-Use of GSA for Law Enforcement and Security Equipment

The 5th District Juvenile Court is seeking a contract with a qualified vendor to perform psychological evaluations for youth in Beaver, Iron, and Washington Counties. The procurement is specifically focused on determining appropriate placement or treatment levels for juvenile clients. While the solicitation details are somewhat limited, the contract appears to require a vendor with specialized psychological assessment expertise who can conduct comprehensive evaluations of youth. The public notice was posted on May 15, 2019, with a response deadline of May 22, 2019, indicating a relatively tight procurement timeline. The procurement is being conducted through a Request for Information (RFI) mechanism, which suggests the agency is exploring potential vendor capabilities before finalizing a formal solicitation. The primary commodity code associated with this opportunity is 46150, which covers law enforcement equipment and supplies, though in this case the focus is on psychological evaluation services for the juvenile justice system.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, existing technological infrastructure, or specific budget ranges for the psychological evaluation services. The geographical scope is limited to three Utah counties (Beaver, Iron, and Washington), which may influence the pool of potential qualified vendors. The procurement appears to be targeting vendors with specific expertise in juvenile psychological assessment and placement recommendations. The public notice was issued by the Salt Lake City Corporation's Purchasing & Contracts Management Division, suggesting potential centralized procurement processes. While detailed evaluation criteria are not specified in the available documentation, it can be inferred that vendors will be assessed based on their professional qualifications, experience with juvenile populations, and ability to provide comprehensive psychological assessment services.
