Institute For Forensic Psychology

Institute For Forensic Psychology, a veteran-owned small business incorporated as a Subchapter S corporation and based in Oakland, New Jersey, provides police psychological evaluation services exclusively to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor across multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs). The vendor competes under Total Small Business set-asides on new IDCs and delivers forensic psychological assessments—comprehensive evaluations incorporating interviews, standardized testing, and mental fitness assessments to determine suitability for duty—for VA police personnel across geographically dispersed medical facilities.

The company's customer base is heavily concentrated within the VA. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (VISN 4), covering Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and West Virginia, accounts for 77 of 97 awards and $2.5 million of the combined $3.3 million potential value (91% of award count, 76% of dollars). The Veterans Integrated Service Network 2, serving New York, holds 8 awards worth $740 thousand. Three additional federal customers—the Air Mobility Command, VISN 5, and the Drug Enforcement Administration—account for 3 awards and $46 thousand combined. Activity has remained steady at 9 to 10 awards annually from 2022 through 2024, with a recent slowdown to 1 award in 2025 and 2 awards in 2026 (the most recent dated June 1, 2026). One award with combined potential value of $86 thousand reaches completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure.

Institute For Forensic Psychology operates entirely on Indefinite Delivery Contracts under the VA. The primary vehicle is IDC 36C24420D0096, which spans 47 task orders and $1.5 million in combined potential value. A recently awarded single-award IDC with VISN 2 (contract 36C24226Q0466, issued June 1, 2026, Total Small Business set-aside, $457.4 thousand ceiling, performance through May 31, 2027) opens a second regional foothold; a $36.55 thousand delivery order against this vehicle was issued immediately upon award on June 1, 2026 for psychological evaluations at the Bronx VA Medical Center. Additional vehicles include IDC VA24413D0028 (9 task orders, $54 thousand), IDC 36C24418D0070 (4 task orders, $41 thousand), and three smaller IDCs. Representative recent work includes a $43.62 thousand purchase order from VISN 2 (July 1, 2024, Total Small Business set-aside, completion June 30, 2025) and multiple task orders under the VISN 4 IDC ranging from $3.6 thousand to $17.28 thousand per order. Performance locations include Bronx, Wilkes-Barre, Altoona, Coatesville, Lebanon, Pittsburgh, Wilmington, and Erie across the VISN 4 region and New York state. The vendor invoiced $926 thousand against combined potential value of $3.3 million (28% obligation rate), indicating modest cash flow relative to ceiling. Institute For Forensic Psychology performs all work as prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. The vendor has maintained registration in SAM.gov since 2004, reflecting sustained federal vendor status focused narrowly on forensic psychology services for VA law enforcement personnel.
