NOTICE AND REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION - PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES

The County of Hawaii is issuing a sole‑source exemption request to award a contract for psychological services to Marvin W. Acklin, PhD, Inc. Vendors may only object to the exemption by submitting written objections through the OpenGov portal before the request’s end date; objections are addressed to the Chief Procurement Officer. No proposals, bids, or quotes are required, and the process is limited to confirming the exemption. The county seeks to secure professional mental‑health services (assessment, counseling, therapy, or related clinical work) for its residents or internal programs. Because this is a sole‑source award, competition is not expected unless an objection is filed and upheld. • Sole‑source procurement (exemption) – no competitive bidding. • Service: Psychological/mental‑health professional services. • Vendor: Marvin W. Acklin, PhD, Inc. (the only proposed provider). • Objection process: Submit written objections via OpenGov before the deadline; addressed to the Chief Procurement Officer. • Contact for questions: [email protected] (no phone or individual contact listed). • No explicit schedule, budget, or project duration disclosed in the notice.
