Solicitation/Project Title:
Criminal Law Counsel

Description:
This request for proposals (RFP) provides to those law firms interested in submitting proposals for the subject procurement (“Offerors”) sufficient information to enable them to prepare and submit proposals for the Governor’s Office of General Counsel’s consideration on behalf of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (“Commonwealth”) to satisfy a need for criminal litigation and other potentially emergent legal services in the area of criminal law that may arise on an ad hoc basis.  Specifically, Executive Order 2015-2 provides that legal service or legal consultant contracts shall be awarded on a sole source basis only when it is clearly not feasible to utilize competitive bidding because of an urgency of need or other documented circumstances. Executive Order 2015-2 further provides that the Governor’s Office of General Counsel should develop a competitively bid list of pre-approved outside counsel for those situations.

At various times, the Commonwealth or one of its agencies has been required to provide legal counsel or to otherwise defend the interests and/or liberty of one of its agents, officials, or employees in connection with some criminal proceeding, action, investigation or accusation, the inherently urgent nature of which renders the utilization of the competitive bidding process for related legal services unfeasible, and instead necessitates the advanced identification of outside counsel possessing the necessary specialized capabilities.  The Department of General Services, on behalf of the Governor’s Office of General Counsel, has issued this RFP to select standing legal counsel(s) to aid the Commonwealth in such legal matters, as further outlined below in Part IV, based upon the criterion set forth in this RFP.

This RFP is issued pursuant to Executive Order 2015-2 dated January 20, 2015, and in accordance with Section 518 of the Commonwealth Procurement Code, 62 P.S. § 518 and Part III Chapter 8 of the DGS Procurement Handbook.

*If you received a contract under any of the previously issued Criminal Law Counsel RFPs, please be advised that your contracts have either expired or will be expiring this year, so you must reapply if you wish to continue to be considered for these types of services, if selected for award.*
