Risk-Needs Assessment System

The agency is seeking market information for a validated, evidence-based risk-needs assessment system for both juvenile and adult populations. This initiative aims to improve predictive accuracy, support effective case planning, increase analytic capability, and align county practices with modern evidence-based frameworks. The agency requires a system that avoids forcing a single instrument on different populations while ensuring that knowledge accumulated during juvenile supervision informs adult supervision when transitions occur. The scope of work covers the provision of assessment tools, reporting capabilities, integration of assessment results with the county's current case management system, and access to raw data for analytics and continuous quality improvement. The selected contractor must deliver comprehensive staff training, implementation services, and ongoing support, while clearly articulating the phases of implementation. The agency also requests descriptions of any artificial intelligence, machine learning, guided interview prompts, or decision-support features that reinforce evidence-based interviewing and case planning. Eligible bidders must be onshore United States organizations. The agency requires the performance of the work to be completed offsite. Bidders must submit responses digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently looking for budget proposals. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 30, 2026.
