Nebraska State Patrol Computer Aided Dispatch and Mobile Data System

The Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) Number NSP7149 Z1 to procure a comprehensive Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Mobile Data System for statewide use. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to provide an advanced technological solution that can support multiple dispatch centers, manage incident dispatching, track unit status, provide mapping and routing capabilities, generate reports, and enable system administration across the state. The proposed system must integrate with over 20 existing interfaces, including Active Directory, AVL systems, body-worn cameras, crash reporting, eCitation, E911, emergency management, GIS/mapping, and various state and national law enforcement databases. Proposals are due on July 22, 2024, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with an evaluation process that includes 25 points for Corporate Overview, 65 points for Technical Approach, and 10 points for Cost Proposal, totaling 100 points without oral interviews and potentially 120 points with interviews. The contract term is five years, with the option to renew for five additional one-year periods, and requires conversion of seven years of historical incident and premise data from the legacy system. Bidders must provide a detailed project plan, deliverable schedule, and demonstrate capabilities for a statewide, multi-jurisdictional CAD environment that complies with NENA NG-911 standards.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations, but it does indicate consideration for resident disabled veteran or enterprise zone business preferences per state law. Seven vendors have submitted bids, including ProPhoenix Corporation, SmartCOP, Inc., Tyler Technologies, Inc., Motorola Solutions, Inc., 10-8 Systems LLC, Central Square, and 22nd Century Technologies.

While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the Cost Proposal Sheet indicates comprehensive pricing requirements covering software/subscription fees, interface software, professional services, third-party integrations, and other costs. The state reserves the right to contract for similar services from other sources, suggesting the contract is not intended to be exclusive.
