This document is Contract Amendment Number 9 for the Inmate Telephone and Video Visitation Contract between the State of North Dakota, acting through its Information Technology Department, and Securus Technologies, LLC. The amendment involves the Office of Management and Budget State Procurement Office (STATE) and was executed in February 2021.

The amendment introduces two key modifications to the existing contract: First, it adds Securus Debit functionality, which allows for a prepaid, inmate-owned account funded through transfers from friends and family, with funds becoming the inmate's property once deposited. Second, it establishes a Subscription Pricing Plan Pilot for telephone system users, offering monthly subscription plans with up to 100 intrastate calls per month. The pricing is structured with a "Contractor Base Subscription Rate" of $19.95 and a "Commission to State" rate of $3.48, resulting in a total monthly charge to end users of $23.43 (plus applicable taxes and fees). The subscription plans will be piloted for a 90-day period, with either party able to cancel within 30 days of the pilot's conclusion, and potential extension by mutual written agreement.
