Description
The South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice is seeking a qualified provider to deliver fixed‑price, in‑person psychological evaluation services for juveniles. The contract covers four service categories: pre‑dispositional evaluations, pre‑dispositional SORA evaluations, pre‑adjudicatory waiver evaluations, and waiver testimony. Maximum billable hours are capped (e.g., up to 16 hrs for each evaluation) and rates are capped at $150‑$200 per hour. The award will be a three‑year contract (one‑year base with two optional one‑year renewals). The vendor must be a single legal entity, must employ South Carolina‑licensed psychologists, and cannot subcontract the work. Deliverables include completed assessment reports (using Forms 903A, 903B, 904A, 909A/B) and, when required, courtroom testimony. All work must be performed on‑site (no telehealth) and in compliance with SCDJJ policies and security requirements.
• Provide comprehensive psychosocial, developmental, and psychosexual assessments for juveniles, using standardized interview forms and DSM‑based diagnostics.
• Submit written reports (Form 904A) co‑signed by an SCDJJ‑licensed psychologist within 30‑50 days of referral (or 90 days for waiver evaluations).
• Appear for testimony in waiver hearings as needed; all other services must be performed in person at designated SCDJJ locations.
• Maintain required insurance, certifications, and complete SCDJJ policy acknowledgment (Acceptable Use, Security Questionnaire).
