720-5237, RFPQ - SVP Evaluators

The Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is soliciting qualifications from licensed psychologists and psychiatrists to be prequalified for inclusion on a Qualified Contractor’s List for future engagements involving SVP, ECO, and Annual Review evaluations. This solicitation, identified as RFPQ-119562, is open for responses until August 12, 2026, and is not subject to any set-aside provisions. The work is statewide in scope, with evaluations conducted across Virginia to support the agency’s legal and clinical obligations related to sexually violent predators and other court-ordered mental health assessments. Applicants must demonstrate relevant licensure, experience, and expertise in conducting forensic psychological and psychiatric evaluations under applicable state statutes. Submission of qualifications is mandatory for inclusion on the Qualified Contractor’s List, which will serve as a pre-vetted pool of professionals for future, task-specific solicitations. No contract will be awarded through this solicitation; instead, it establishes eligibility for future work. All respondents must provide documentation of professional credentials, experience with court-ordered evaluations, and familiarity with Virginia’s legal and procedural framework for SVP and ECO proceedings. Questions and correspondence should be directed to Nick Sloane at the provided email and phone number, and further details are accessible through the agency’s vendor portal. Participation requires adherence to state compliance standards and an understanding of the sensitive nature of evaluations involving individuals subject to civil commitment.
