DOP requires a provider with demonstrated knowledge of psychological standards applicable to law-enforcement personnel, experience conducting public-safety suitability assessments, and the capacity to timely evaluate incoming candidates. IFP has previously provided these services to DOP and has experience providing comparable psychological clearance services to the NYPD and other law-enforcement jurisdictions. Given the specialized nature of the services and DOP’s time-sensitive need to evaluate candidates and maintain adequate staffing, DOP has determined that these services cannot be timely met through competitive sealed bidding or competitive sealed proposals.
The New York City Department of Probation (“DOP”) intends to enter into a Negotiated Acquisition with Institute for Forensic Psychology (“IFP”) for the provision of specialized pre-employment psychological examination and evaluation services for Probation Officer candidates.
The anticipated contract term is July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, with a total not-to-exceed amount of $110,350.00.
DOP is utilizing the Negotiated Acquisition method pursuant to PPB Rule § 3-04(b)(2)(i)(D) due to a time-sensitive and compelling need for these specialized services that could not timely be met through competitive sealed bidding or competitive sealed proposals. DOP requires continued access to qualified psychological professionals with specialized experience conducting law-enforcement and public-safety suitability assessments in order to timely evaluate Probation Officer candidates and support agency staffing and operations.
Organizations that believe they are qualified to provide the same or similar services may express interest in this procurement, or in future solicitations for these services, by contacting Chairon Jeffrey, Deputy ACCO, at CJeffrey@probation.nyc.gov.
