The procurement specifically requires vendors to provide transportation services for different prisoner categories, including Adult Male, Adult Female, Juvenile Male, and Juvenile Female prisoners.

The contract will run from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, with potential for two additional one-year renewal terms, contingent upon County Board of Commissioners approval. Pricing will be structured on a per-mile basis with additional surcharges for court appearances, release dates, and form VI transport, based on historical mileage of 276,163 miles in 2024.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but requires comprehensive insurance coverage including commercial general liability, business automobile liability, and workers' compensation, with Fulton County named as an additional insured. Bidders must participate in the E-Verify program and submit Georgia Security and Immigration Contractor Affidavits as part of their compliance documentation. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the historical mileage suggests a significant potential contract value.
