Polygraph Testing and Employee Examination Services

The City of Tucson is seeking proposals from qualified firms and individuals to provide Polygraph Testing and Employee Examination Services for the Tucson Police Department on an as-needed, if-needed basis. To provide adequate Contract coverage, the City may make multiple awards as a result of this solicitation. In addition, the City anticipates the cooperative use of this contract by other Southern Arizona area public safety agencies.

The Tucson Police Department (TPD) requires the services of a polygrapher for various purposes including the testing of candidates for employment, the re-testing of candidates when deemed necessary, as well as the occasional testing of current employees. Historically, TPD completes 3-4 hiring processes per year with an average of 100-200 candidates proceeding to the polygraph stage of the process.

Services will be provided by the successful offeror(s) on an as-needed, if-needed basis and no volume of services should be assumed or is guaranteed. To avoid creating travel expenses for current TPD employees and candidates to be tested, services will either be provided at the Offeror's location within the Tucson Metropolitan area or at TPD's location.
