NIGP 91570: Monitoring Services: Parolee, Patient, Convict, etc.

NIGP 91570 Monitoring Services: Parolee, Patient, Convict, Etc., an Item code, covers electronic monitoring and GPS-based supervision products and services for justice-involved individuals—including incarcerated persons, parolees, and youth in alternatives-to-custody programs—that state and local corrections departments, juvenile justice agencies, and community supervision bodies procure. The work spans active and passive GPS monitoring hardware, mobile and web-based tracking platforms, monitoring center operations, and field supervision labor. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of corrections, county juvenile departments, and county boards of commissioners. The scope extends to both emergency procurements for established monitoring vendors and cooperative purchasing vehicles that layer participating addenda under pre-awarded master agreements to expand access across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and Midwest. The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services posted an intent to establish NASPO ValuePoint participating addenda under Nevada's master agreements with eight electronic monitoring vendors—including SCRAM Systems, BI Inc., Buddi US, Satellite Tracking of People, Sentinel Offender Services, SuperCom, and Track Group—with a protest deadline of September 25, 2026. Clackamas County issued RFP 2026-58 on July 16, 2026 for community monitoring and electronic supervision of justice-involved youth up to age 23, with an estimated project budget of $1,038,000 and proposals due August 20, 2026. The Illinois Department of Corrections executed an emergency contract with BI Incorporated for electronic and GPS monitoring services at a final cost of $1.35 million in June 2026. Sourcewell, operating as a Minnesota local government unit cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment with participation from multiple Washington and Minnesota counties, though this broader solicitation may encompass monitoring components alongside other equipment categories.
