About this file
This is a clarification response email from Guardian RFID to the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry regarding the state's RFP for an RFID Inmate Tracking and Management System. The email, dated September 29, 2023, addresses specific questions raised by Nirosh De Silva, Senior Procurement Specialist, regarding Guardian RFID's proposal submission. The response was required by October 6, 2023 at 10:00 AM MST.
Guardian RFID provided clarifications on five key proposal attachments. The company clarified that it does not boycott Israel and corrected a missing checkbox that resulted from file format conversion issues. Regarding confidentiality claims, Guardian RFID identified only Attachment 12 and banking reference information as confidential, noting that Attachment 12 contains sensitive security controls the company considers proprietary and not for public disclosure. The company also corrected documentation indicating that its subcontractor is not a small business, clarified its corporate structure with sole ownership, and confirmed that non-signature pages were included with the signature page for Attachment 10. No pricing information, contract terms, set-asides, or funding details were discussed in this clarification response.

Request for Clarification of submissions for RFP, RFID - Inmate Tracking and Management System Nick.Lane@guardianrfid.com <nick.lane@codexcorp.com> Fri, Sep 29, 2023 at 11:42 AM To: Nirosh De Silva <ndesilva@azadc.gov> Cc: Paul Baze <paul@guardianrfid.com>, nick.lane@guardianrfid.com, "ken@guardianrfid.com" <ken@guardianrfid.com>
Hello Nirosh
Thank you for reaching out for this clarification.
Attachment 2 We do not boycott Israel. The missing checkbox appears to have been an issue with file format conversion. Corrected version is attached.
Attachment 4 Our proposal does not contain confidential information with the exception of Attachment 12 and the Bank Reference as you noted. Attachment 12 contains sensitive security controls of our system which we do not wish to be publicly discoverable and we consider our banking information confidential and also do not wish that publicly discoverable.
Attachment 4 has been updated to that effect with an explanation.
Attachment 6 The original PDF form for this signature page does not seem to have an option to check a box or make a selection for that information. I have manually edited this to indicate that the subcontractor is not a small business.
Attachment 7 We are a corporation with sole ownership. I have corrected the form as we are not an exception to this matter regardless.
Attachment 10 non signature pages have been included with the signature page.
Please let me know if there are any other questions or clarifications needed. Thank you again for reaching out. If there is anything else I can do to help, please let me know.
Thanks, Nick
Nick Lane > Product Manager
