Computer Tracking Software

The Missouri Department of Corrections has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB #931Y17708362) for Computer Tracking Software to be used in probation and parole monitoring across the state, with specific jurisdictional focus on Clark County. The procurement seeks real-time remote internet activity monitoring software that includes licensing, maintenance, installation, and monthly reporting capabilities for up to 200 devices. Key deliverables include per-device, per-month monitoring software and a one-time installation fee, with the software designed to track and report on offender internet activities. The solicitation requires vendors to provide comprehensive monitoring solutions that can be deployed across probation and parole departments. The bid was posted on March 9, 2017, with responses due by March 24, 2017, at 3:00 PM CDT. Vendors can submit bids either electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or via sealed hard copy to the Department of Corrections Purchasing Section in Jefferson City. The contract includes an initial term with options for up to three additional one-year renewal periods.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were identified in the solicitation documents. The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors capable of providing the required computer tracking and monitoring software. Payment terms are structured uniquely, with contractors expected to invoice non-indigent offenders directly, while the Department of Corrections will be responsible for payment for indigent offenders' monitoring on one device. No incumbent vendor information was provided in the documents, and no specific budget range or estimated total contract value was disclosed. The solicitation requires vendors to complete Exhibit A and any other applicable exhibits as part of their bid submission. While precise evaluation criteria were not explicitly detailed, the documents suggest the award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting the technical specifications for real-time internet monitoring software for probation and parole offenders.
