The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) was established under Section 11232 of the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997 to effectuate the reorganization and transition of functions relating to pretrial services, parole, adult probation and offender supervision in the District of Columbia to a Federal Executive Branch agency. The mission of CSOSA is to increase public safety, prevent crime, reduce recidivism, and support the fair administration of justice in close collaboration with the community.
The CSOSA (hereafter referred to as the Government) has been mandated to provide comprehensive supervision services to persons (hereinafter referred to as offenders) who have been ordered to undergo such supervision by the courts, either as part of a sentence or pre-sentence, or as a condition of probation or parole. CSOSA is responsible for the supervision of all probationers and parolees held under the authority of any United States or District of Columbia statute, or any other lawful authority and entrusted to the District.
C-2 SCOPE OF WORK
The Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, and equipment necessary to provide for tracking Offenders using Global Positioning Satellite. These services shall be provided to the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA), in accordance with the requirements specified herein.
C-3 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
The Contractor shall provide continuous Active (near-real-time), Hybrid (combination of Active and Passive features), and Passive remote location monitoring services that utilize the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) technology to manage, monitor, and report day-to-day movement activities of offenders.
No equipment is purchased by the Government, but is provided by the Contractor as part of the services requested.
C-4 TRACKING EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
C.4.1 – ACTIVE TRACKING DEVICES
(a) The Active one-piece device shall emit an RF signal at least once every 30 seconds. The device provides near real-time violation notification and near real-time offender tracking. It is connected to a wireless network and programmed to call on a schedule, when events occur and on demand. An active device calls on a schedule, minimally every 10 minutes, with its tracking and event data. However, the device will call immediately when certain events occur. The device can also be remotely contacted to force the device to call back with its data immediately.
(b) The device shall collect GPS location data once per minute and in the absence of offender violations monitoring data transmits every 10 minutes.
C.4.2 – HYBRID TRACKING DEVICE
(a) The Hybrid one-piece tracking device is connected to a wireless network and programmed to provide on demand and on event communications. The Hybrid device will call immediately when certain events occur and be capable of being remotely contacted to force the device to call back with its data immediately.
The Hybrid device shall collect GPS location data once per minuter and transmit data twice daily, but can be pinged to call in data earlier and have the capability to call immediately when certain events occur.
(b) The Hybrid tracking device shall provide the ability to easily and quickly convert to active GPS monitoring without changing out equipment. CSOSA shall have the ability to call, email or fax the monitoring and technical support center at anytime to switch the device from hybrid to active monitoring capabilities.
C.4.3 – PASSIVE TRACKING DEVICE
(a) The Passive device receives and stores all monitoring data onboard until the offender enters the RF tethering range of the home base unit. The Passive device shall use a standard landline telephone connection to transmit data to an Internet-based tracking application. The Passive device shall have the capability to be installed at an offender’s residence and be powered by a standard AC electrical outlet.
C.4.4 – REQUIREMENTS OF ALL TRACKING DEVICES
(a) All devices shall be F.C.C. certified one-piece devices housing the receiver and transmitter into a single unit. Device straps shall be either adjustable to fit any size offender, or varying-sized straps shall be provided as an alternative. The strap will be installed on an offender’s ankle.
(b) All devices shall be capable of being attached to the offender so that efforts to tamper with or remove the transmitter are obvious upon visual inspection. It is preferred the device have a proximity tamper detection capacity, i.e. density, temperature, should the defendant/offender remove the device from his/her body.
(c) All devices shall continue to transmit a signal even after a “tamper” has occurred. In the event a tamper does occur, the device shall not terminate the signal, shut down, or “reset” itself in any way. The device shall be configured so that once a tamper is generated it shall remain in a tampered state until an Electronic Monitoring Technician resolves it (whether by reattaching, restarting, or resetting the transmitter).
(d) All devices shall be shock resistant, water and moisture proof, and function reliably under normal atmospheric and environmental conditions. The device shall not pose a safety hazard or unduly restrict the activities of the offender.
(e) The transmitter’s signal range shall be no greater than 300 feet under normal household conditions with a typical range of 100-150 feet. CSOSA shall be able to differentiate between GPS signals and cellular tower signals.

(1) Devices shall provide a low power signal to indicate that the device should be recharged.
(2) The Contractor shall provide any replaceable power sources for use with the device.
(g) All devices shall collect GPS location data once per minute.
(h) All devices shall have the capability to transmit monitoring data using a cellular network or through a radio frequency (RF). CSOSA shall be able to differentiate between GPS signals and cellular tower signals.
(i) All devices shall emit an RF signal at least once every 30 seconds and the signal content shall identify the offender, power status, and tamper/removal status, and be encrypted to discourage duplication.
C.4.4 – MONITORING SERVICES AND ASSOCIATED MONITORING CAPABILITIES
(a) Offeror software shall have an organizational style (HIERARCHY) to replicate the CSOSA organizational hierarchy of offices. Software capabilities must allow CSOSA to add other agencies, specifically law enforcement agencies into the systems outside the hierarchy for data sharing purposes. The software must allow CSOSA to control access to the system by limiting user access to office level, branch, level, and or agency level as necessary.
(b) The GPS system shall provide continuous location monitoring of the offender’s location within a range of plus or minus 25 meters. The vendor shall provide the frequency at which the active unit collects GPS location information and the frequency in which data is transmitted to the monitoring network. CSOSA shall be capable of increasing or decreasing the call out frequency of the unit from the standard call out rate.
(c) The remote interface used by officers for this system shall include a PC-based map overlay that enables CSOSA to set both geographical areas of exclusion and inclusion for specified dates and times. The software must enable CSOSA to view the movement history of an offender and to monitor associations among remotely monitored offender’s. The remote interface shall also allow CSOSA to enter information to initiate multiple alert notifications (e.g., victims, officers, law enforcement) for specified key events.
(d) Maps must contain detailed information pertaining to schools, parks, and other public areas. The ability to overlay GPS locations on GIS mapping is preferred.
(e) The contractor shall make all GPS location information, including latitude and longitude, on all defendants/offenders available to law enforcement agencies for the integration of crime scene data. Daily transmission of crime data may be required.
(f) The contractor shall be able to provide historical data on monitored offenders for a period of no less than one year. Data shall be accessible to CSOSA upon request.
C.4.5 – KEY EVENTS (ALERTS) FOR REMOTE LOCATION MONITORING SYSTEM

The system shall have the ability to query the database by any field, to sort by any field, and to search by any field. The system shall have the capability to create a separate report of each officer’s assigned cases with related case information.
(2) The remotely accessible system shall minimize user interaction whenever possible. Utilization of a scheduled batch facility for automatic off-hours production of reports is one example of minimized user interaction. The system shall also keep a behind the scenes historical transaction record of up to ten updates. The transactional log shall record the login ID and date of update for the last ten updates.
(3) The remotely accessible system shall provide a separate management/supervisor interface so that office managers may provide effective oversight of officers accessing the monitoring system. The system must provide management/supervisors reports including caseload by officer, total units, inventory control, and names and number of days removed for violation. The system must allow for storing agency pre-defined zones which can be applied to any offender.
(4) The remotely accessible system shall have an adequate security infrastructure to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to offender data. The system shall have an appropriate security monitoring system at multiple levels (e.g., HTTPS, SSL, firewall, database). The security system shall provide information on attempted intrusions and other relevant or useful information that can be reported for further investigation and referral for criminal action.
(5) Upon the occurrence of any Key Event the monitoring system shall notify the officer using the officer’s selected options and schedule. Furthermore, there shall be provided an option for officers to call the monitoring center to close alerts, in addition to the ability to do so via the internet. The monitoring system must allow for weekend/holiday duty, officer assignments, temporary duty/coverage assignments, and ability to notify supervisors if alerts are not closed within a specified time period.
(6) The Contractor’s system shall be capable of providing for multiple notifications to multiple persons/agencies by pager, telephone, or email.
