Sole Source/FY 27/University of Denver - Evaluations

The Department of Human Services is seeking to contract with the University of Denver for evaluation and restoration services. The services include competency evaluations, sanity and/or mental condition evaluations, risk and release evaluations, and competency restoration services.
