Bid #RFP26-0107. City of Orlando, Orlando, Florida. The City of Orlando is soliciting proposals to obtain professional services from an experienced and qualified Proposer to conduct psychological testing for those applying for City employment. Due Jun 30 (2 weeks left).
The City of Orlando is soliciting proposals to obtain professional services from an experienced and qualified Proposer to conduct psychological testing for those applying for City employment for certain public safety positions in the Orlando Police Department (“OPD”) and Orlando Fire Department (“OFD”). Services are to be provided at the selected Proposer’s facility located in Central Florida. The testing is required by the City as part of a comprehensive background investigation of applicants. The purpose of these services is to evaluate whether said applicants are acceptable candidates for public safety positions. The testing and assessment must involve a written assessment of the candidates, an interview with candidates, and a written report of findings, all of which must be in conformity with the state and federal standards. The testing entity shall provide professional and technical services to produce materials, procedures, and reports that will satisfy professional standards and prevailing guidelines in the field of personnel management and selection. The testing procedure must be free from non-job-related factors which might function as biases against any group based on race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, or any other classification protected by law. Additionally, psychological testing may include fit-for-duty evaluations or return-to-duty for City personnel on an as needed basis upon the City’s request. Certain public safety positions will undergo psychological testing and assessment prior to initial employment, re-hire, and possibly in some cases, prior to transfers or lateral appointments.

City of Orlando in Orlando, Florida is using this solicitation to procure consulting work. Public agencies typically advertise this kind of work as a Request for Proposals (RFP), evaluating bidders on a combination of qualifications, technical approach, and price. Bidders responding to a consulting solicitation in Florida are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.
Contracts of this type are usually awarded under the issuing agency's published procurement rules, with bid bond, performance bond, and reference requirements set in the solicitation documents. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in Florida so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a proposal for this RFP, review the full solicitation documents for City of Orlando's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the June 30, 2026 deadline — public agencies routinely reject late submissions regardless of cause. Confirm how the agency accepts responses — through an electronic procurement portal, as a sealed hard-copy bid, or by email — because the required method varies by agency and a non-conforming submission can be disqualified. Vendors that have not previously contracted with City of Orlando should confirm whether registration on the agency's vendor system is required to be eligible for award.
