The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, through its Central Ohio Behavioral Healthcare division, is looking to enhance the quality of mental health services offered to multi-cultural adult populations across Ohio. To achieve this goal, they are seeking proposals from qualified psychologists to conduct forensic evaluations and submit corresponding forensic reports. These evaluations will be conducted for both inpatient psychiatric units and outpatient Community Support Networks. They encompass a comprehensive review of available records, face-to-face patient evaluations, consultations with staff from COBH, jails, and restoration facilities, and the application of various psychological assessment tools. The assessments conducted will focus on intelligence, malingering, achievement, and personality, along with specific forensic assessments. The contractor is required to supply all necessary assessment instruments and provide the results in a computer-scored format. It is important to note that the contract does not guarantee a set number of services requested; reimbursement will be made only after receipt of the final report. The contract will commence on July 1, 2025, and continue until June 30, 2027, with services provided at the Central Ohio Behavioral Healthcare in Columbus, Ohio. The solicitation, identified by NAICS code 621330 and PSC code Q519, is a state and local government contract opportunity with an estimated value ranging from $50,000 to $200,000. Interested parties must submit their proposals by April 18, 2025.
