SECTION 1

Statement of Work (SOW)

1. GENERAL

The offeror shall provide all labor, services, materials, equipment, transportation, supervision, and all requirements necessary to accomplish the efforts described in this Statement of Work (SOW).

2. BACKGROUND

Judiciaries in Mexico’s border states (i.e. Baja California Norte, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas) face persistent security and operational challenges when hearing cases involving detainees imprisoned for

TCO-related activities. Reliance on in-person hearings requires frequent inmate transport from detention facilities, creating elevated risks of escape, violence, intimidation of judicial personnel, and disruptions to proceedings. These risks contribute to hearing delays, case backlogs, and reduced judicial effectiveness at a time when TCO and FTO-related activity along the U.S.-Mexico border remains acute. The problem stems from limited access to secure, court-approved telepresence technology, uneven digital infrastructure, and procedural frameworks that have not adapted to evolving security threats. Addressing this issue is critical to ensure timely prosecution of high-impact cases.

3. SCOPE

This project will equip up to four state or federal judiciaries and their courtrooms in Mexico’s northern border states and the corresponding penitentiaries in those states or judicial districts with telepresence systems and secure digital communication platforms.

The Contractor shall accomplish the following main activities:

3.1.Software/infrastructure procurement, delivery, inventory, implementation, and minimal customization in each location, including installation, integration, and testing to meet the objectives of this contract.

At a minimum, the contractor shall provide all equipment included in

Appendix A for each site, although contractors may propose additional equipment as needed to complete the objectives of the project.

19AQMM26Q0271 Attachment 1

3.2.Provide complete system documentation.

3.3.Provide end-user and system administrator knowledge transfer; and

3.4.Provide necessary Project Management services for the duration of the project.

4. RELATIONSHIPS

The Contractor shall be responsible for project assessment, design, development, implementation, testing, delivery, knowledge transfer, and support/warranties. The INL Criminal Prosecutions Team will connect the contractor with the relevant points of contact in the Government of Mexico and provide guidance regarding implementing contract requirements and coordination on contractual matters such as inspection, and delivery. The

Government of Mexico (GOM) assigned to the project shall be responsible for making any necessary updates to their facilities as need for the contractor to execute the contract, grant access to their facilities following any required screenings.

The contractor shall conduct initial workshop sessions with selected GOM partners in each location involved. These meetings will ensure that the locations provide the needed support and infrastructure for successful project implementation.

REQUIREMENTS

4.1.The Contractor shall be responsible for project assessment, procurement, design, development, implementation, testing, documentation, knowledge transfer, and delivery to the final location.

4.2.The contractor shall conduct workshop sessions with the operations and management staff in two states (option states to be determined as approved). These meetings will ensure that the States are providing the support and infrastructure needed for software development and operation, as well as successful project implementation.

4.3.Contractor must work with the states’ designated staff to ensure minimal

19AQMM26Q0271 Attachment 1 customization of on- site processes, and certify software is working correctly and fully integrated.

4.4.The Contractor shall provide an audiovisual system for remote locations within the judiciary and the selected prison facilities that will facilitate the participation of the parties while ensuring visibility during the hearings, and provide support to remote sites, taking into consideration geographical location for different situations.

4.5.The Contractor shall develop and deliver a functional interface between the telepresence/videoconference solution and all GOM-designated judicial information systems identified during workshop sessions. The interface shall demonstrate, at a minimum: successful authentication and data exchange between systems; accurate transmission of hearing scheduling data; and reliable delivery of recorded video files to GOM-designated repositories.

4.6.The Contractor shall develop and deliver a functional integration between the videoconference platform and the SICAS (Sistema Integral de

Consulta de Audiencas) system, used by Mexican judiciaries to manage court hearing schedules, demonstrating, at a minimum: automated hearing scheduling initiated from within SICAS; initiation of multiple multi‑participant video recording sessions; and delivery of the recorded video file to the GOM-designated cloud repository upon conclusion of the hearings. Full AI-generated transcription linkage and analytics features shall may be delivered in a subsequent remediation cycle following GOM/INL approval of the functional prototype.

4.7.The Contractor shall provide technical documentation in Spanish, including the description and functions of the software installed.

4.8.Contractor shall provide all software licenses needed with a plan for follow-on years’ cost estimates and any maintenance packages that might be recommended or required. Follow on year expenses are requested and will be exercised based on USG interest.

4.9.Contractor shall provide warranties & technical support for one year beginning on the date INL accepts the completed project for the Base Year. Option Year 1 would begin following the completion of the initial year of warranty and technical support.

19AQMM26Q0271 Attachment 1

4.10. The contractor must provide complete system documentation.

4.11. The contractor must provide end-user and system administrator knowledge transfer.

Components of the technical solution:

4.12. Videoconference hardware (see Appendix 1) that includes the installation and configuration in the different sites to connect the State Judiciary with the Prisons.

Judicial Collaboration Platform:

5.1.1. A technological tool that provides telepresence capabilities for oral hearings, including booths for experts with mobile equipment; this will improve efficiency and speed for judiciary officials, citizens and third parties that participate in the hearings.

5.1.2. The project will enable judges and other judicial personnel to conduct virtual hearings with inmates and other detainees being held for cartel-related criminal activities. Planned activities include the procurement, installation, and operational integration of telepresence technology to support remote judicial proceedings.

These actions will reduce the need for inmate transport, mitigate escape and security risks, protect judicial personnel, and minimize

19AQMM26Q0271 Attachment 1 delays in criminal proceedings.
