Mental Health Counseling Experiential Learning Solution

The agency is seeking a web-based mental health counseling experiential learning solution to provide an interactive, scenario-based environment for students. This platform must simulate counseling or helping-profession scenarios to allow students to engage in applied decision-making within structured practice contexts. The agency is trying to solve the challenge of providing realistic, diverse clinical practice opportunities while enabling faculty to review student performance and provide direct feedback. The scope of work requires a platform accessible via standard web browsers on laptop and desktop computers, with optional compatibility for tablets and mobile devices. The solution must secure user authentication with role-based access for students, instructors, and administrators. It must also record student sessions, offer content reflecting diverse client populations, and support the development of clinical competencies such as foundational counseling skills, evidence-based psychotherapy, and assessment methods. Additionally, the contractor must provide online technical support and course access assistance during business hours. Bidders must be onshore organizations based entirely in the United States. The agency requires the selected contractor to perform all work offsite at the contractor's own office location. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for this project. Evaluation criteria will focus on the platform's ability to meet the technical, security, and clinical competency requirements outlined in the scope. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 22, 2026.
