The USDA Forest Service is seeking on-site mental health consultant services for Pine Ridge Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center in Chadron, Nebraska.
- Government buyer
  - U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service; the work is for Pine Ridge Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center and is associated with the Job Corps National Office.
  - The labor-category attachment also references Department of Labor (DOL) approval and the Contracting Office.
- Requested services
  - Provide on-site mental health care for students, including assessments, treatment planning, case management, crisis intervention, and mental-health education and promotion.
  - Review applicant files and participate in initial assessments, treatment planning, chronic-care coordination, and applicant review activities.
  - Provide staff and student training and student support groups as requested; coordinate care with center health personnel and substance-abuse counselors.
  - The schedule lists 520 hours for the base period and 520 hours for each of four option periods, for up to 2,600 scheduled hours if all options are exercised.
- Notable requirements
  - The Mental Health Consultant must hold an active, unrestricted qualifying state license and be authorized to practice independently; Contracting Office and DOL approvals are required before providing services. Other qualified licenses may require a Government-approved waiver.
  - The consultant must be able to drive students in Government vehicles. Services must comply with applicable federal, state, and local requirements, OSHA and HIPAA requirements, and American Psychological Association guidelines.
  - The quality assurance attachment describes temporary clinical coverage for vacant federal positions, including 40-hour weekly coverage, contractor-provided resources and equipment, employee logs, and monthly status reporting. These are broader clinical-support requirements in the attachment.
  - The labor-category attachment also describes Alcohol and Drug Abuse Specialist, Registered Nurse II or above, and Licensed Practical Nurse roles; these are listed as clinical labor categories, not as separately quantified line items in the consultant schedule.
- OEMs and vendors
  - No product manufacturers, OEMs, or commercial vendors are named. No products are being purchased.
- Schedule and scope caveat
  - The schedule shows a base period plus four option periods, each with 520 hours, while another solicitation statement says the total duration will not exceed one year. The documents therefore contain a duration inconsistency.
