EMERGENCY - Electronic and GPS Monitoring Services

The State of Illinois Department of Corrections, Division of Fiscal Services/Sourcing, issued an emergency procurement on April 3, 2026, for electronic and GPS monitoring services with a posting deadline of April 22, 2026. This emergency purchase authorization was initiated to prevent or minimize serious disruption to critical state services affecting health and safety. The procurement seeks global positioning systems (GPS) and radio frequency (RF) electronic monitoring equipment and related services for individuals monitored outside of correctional facilities. The contract period is scheduled to run from April 1, 2026, through June 29, 2026, with a total estimated expenditure of $1,200,000 funded through State Appropriated Funds. The selected vendor must be capable of providing comprehensive electronic monitoring solutions that integrate with the state's existing correctional monitoring infrastructure and systems. BI Incorporated, located at 1000 East Converse Avenue, Springfield, Illinois, was chosen as the sole vendor based on its incumbent status as the current contractor and its previous award through competitive procurement solicitation B-45231, with negotiations ongoing between the agency and vendor.

The emergency procurement established a zero percent Business Enterprise Program participation goal, citing the absence of registered vendors in the applicable NIGP codes (915-70 and 680-71). BI Incorporated's selection as the incumbent contractor reflects the urgency of the procurement and the requirement for continuity of critical monitoring services without service disruption. No existing state contract was identified as available to meet the immediate operational need, necessitating the emergency purchase designation. This is not a standard competitive solicitation for bids, and interested parties should note that the contract value of $1,200,000 represents the total authorized emergency expenditure. The procurement was authorized by Jacenta Wilson, Agency Procurement Officer, under reference number 26-426DOC-SOURC-B-51832.
