Lane Pederson & Associates LLC

Lane Pederson & Associates LLC is a self-certified small disadvantaged business that provides specialized behavioral health services to the federal government, particularly in the field of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Registered to receive federal awards since April 2016, the company is structured as a for-profit corporate entity and is not tax-exempt. Lane Pederson & Associates LLC primarily contracts with the Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons to develop and implement DBT protocols for inmate treatment programs.

The company has been awarded multiple federal contracts to provide DBT protocols for the Bureau of Prisons Central Office. These contracts involve developing comprehensive treatment materials, including workbooks and facilitator guides, for various levels of DBT programs within the prison system. Specifically, Lane Pederson & Associates LLC has been tasked with creating curricula for three distinct programs: a less intensive outpatient program for general population inmates, a semi-intensive outpatient program for inmates in trauma treatment, and an intensive program for inmates diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. The firm works closely with BOP Psychology Services staff to ensure that the treatment materials align with existing BOP programs and adhere to DBT principles. These contracts are typically awarded as firm-fixed-price delivery orders with no set-aside designations, despite the company's small disadvantaged business status.

Lane Pederson & Associates LLC holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office for the provision of DBT protocols. This IDC, awarded on June 1, 2023, has a ceiling value of $302,700 and an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2025. The contract was set aside for total small business participation. Under this IDC, the company is responsible for developing and delivering the aforementioned DBT curricula and treatment materials. The initial task order under this IDC, valued at $151,350, requires the completion of all contract work within 24 months of the award date. This IDC demonstrates the Bureau of Prisons' ongoing commitment to implementing evidence-based behavioral health interventions in correctional settings and highlights Lane Pederson & Associates LLC's expertise in tailoring DBT protocols for the unique needs of the incarcerated population.
