EMERGENCY EXTENSION - Electronic and GPS Monitoring Services

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) has issued an emergency contract extension for electronic and GPS monitoring services, specifically covering St. Clair County. The procurement involves global positioning systems (GPS) and radio frequency (RF) electronic monitoring equipment and related services for monitoring individuals outside correctional facilities. The current emergency contract is with BI Incorporated and was originally valued at $1.2 million for the initial term from September 25, 2024 to December 24, 2024. The emergency extension will run from December 24, 2024 to June 30, 2025, with an estimated contract value of $2.4 million. The procurement was necessitated by a failed previous solicitation and the expiration of an existing competitively procured contract, with the primary objective of maintaining critical monitoring services for the Parole division. The due date for this emergency extension opportunity is January 3, 2025, with the contract aimed at ensuring continuous monitoring capabilities and community safety.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions noted for this procurement, and no Business Enterprise Program (BEP) participation is required, as no vendors are registered in the relevant NIGP codes (915-70 and 680-71). The current contractor, BI Incorporated, will continue to provide services during this emergency extension period. A new competitive solicitation is currently in development to replace this emergency contract. The estimated total contract value for the extension period is $2.4 million, which maintains the same scope of work as the original contract. The emergency extension is critical to prevent disruption of monitoring services, with potential significant implications for community safety if services were to be interrupted. The procurement covers electronic monitoring equipment and services that support the IDOC's ability to track and monitor individuals outside of correctional facilities.
