NIGP 68071: Prisoner Tracking Devices, Electronic (Wrist and Leg Bands, etc.)

NIGP 68071 Prisoner Tracking Devices, Electronic (Wrist And Leg Bands, Etc.), an Item code, encompasses electronic monitoring and tracking systems for corrections and law enforcement custody applications. State and local governments buy GPS monitoring software platforms with mobile applications, patient elopement detection systems for healthcare facilities, and integrated facility security controls—a broader scope than the legacy code name suggests. The issuing bodies span county corrections departments, municipal police agencies, and county health systems, with Rockland County, New York and Marion County, Oregon appearing as repeat procurers of monitoring and tracking technology.

Recent activity shows Marion County, Oregon issuing two solicitations for GPS Monitoring Software with Mobile Application—one posted March 12, 2026 (due March 19) as a special procurement notice, and a second RFP (solicitation number SC2510200016492) posted April 1, 2026 with a proposal deadline of April 28, 2026. San Diego County posted a Request for Information on March 11, 2026 (due March 31) for a Patient Elopement System Replacement serving both San Diego City and neighboring communities.

The most recent opportunity is Orange County, Florida's sealed-bid construction project for Corrections BRC Security Controls and Building E Secure Door & Lock Replacement (estimated cost $7 million, due July 21, 2026 via OpenGov e-Procurement Platform). Oregon, New York, Florida, and North Carolina show the strongest recent procurement activity under this code.
