About this file

This document is an Attachment C: Agency Terms for a solicitation (No. EV00000712) issued by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC), detailing critical security and behavioral requirements for contractors working within correctional facilities. The document outlines comprehensive security protocols, including mandatory identification procedures, vehicle and equipment security guidelines, restrictions on offender interactions, thorough search protocols for all persons and vehicles entering ODOC facilities, and explicit contraband restrictions.

The agency terms also include stringent provisions under the Prison Rape Elimination Act, which prohibit any sexual misconduct between contractors and offenders and require background checks for all personnel who may have direct contact with offenders. Contractors must attest that their employees have not engaged in sexual abuse in correctional settings or been convicted of sexual misconduct. Violations of these terms can result in immediate contract termination, criminal charges, and reporting to law enforcement and licensing bodies. Additional noteworthy requirements include a complete prohibition of tobacco use in all ODOC-controlled indoor and outdoor areas and the requirement for contractors to submit background check requests at least two weeks prior to facility entry.
