Creation And Installation of Persistent Domestic Violence Offender Registry and Maintenance and Support Of Registry

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the creation and installation of a Persistent Domestic Violence Offender Registry, targeting implementation in Davidson County. The project requires a web-based registry developed in C#.net, with specific technical requirements including a search feature, color-coded background based on conviction history, and website access tracking capabilities. The contractor will be responsible for developing a registry that captures detailed offender information such as name, date of birth, conviction date, counties of conviction, and photographs, with distinct private and public-facing interfaces. Key technical requirements include meeting Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) security policy standards, performing annual penetration tests, maintaining over 99% system uptime, and providing comprehensive disaster recovery capabilities. The procurement timeline includes a response deadline of September 26, 2025, technical response evaluations by October 2, 2025, and cost proposal opening on October 3, 2025, with a projected contract start date of October 1, 2025.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. The maximum project liability is set at $500,000, which covers initial registry creation, installation, and subsequent monthly maintenance and support services. The contract period is structured for up to five years, with the initial scope focusing on developing a robust, secure registry system that can effectively track and display persistent domestic violence offender information. The successful vendor must demonstrate comprehensive technical capabilities, including secure data management, advanced web application development skills, and the ability to integrate complex tracking and reporting functionalities. Proposals will likely be evaluated on technical merit, security compliance, system reliability, maintenance capabilities, and cost-effectiveness. The registry must include robust confidentiality protections, with a clear delineation between state user access and public-facing information displays.
