EMERGENCY NOTICE - IDOC Parole Communications and Control Center

This is an emergency procurement by the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) for the Parole Division Communications and Control Center and related case management services. The IDOC is responsible for the supervision and services for offenders released from state correctional facilities. This emergency contract is a continuation of a previous agreement with Protocol Criminal Justice, Inc. which expired on March 29, 2021. The selected vendor will provide a central computer system to receive, store, and disseminate offender monitoring data to IDOC personnel on a 24/7 basis. The contract term is estimated to run from March 30, 2021 to June 27, 2021 at an estimated cost of $2,000,000, funded through state appropriations. Protocol Criminal Justice, Inc. was selected due to their prior experience providing these services, ensuring continuous monitoring of released offenders to maintain public safety in Illinois. No existing state contract was available to meet this need, necessitating the emergency procurement process.

This opportunity is not designated for any specific business enterprise types. The incumbent vendor, Protocol Criminal Justice, Inc., will continue providing the services to ensure seamless transition and maintain critical public safety functions. The estimated contract value is $2,000,000, funded through state appropriations. No details were provided on any existing technology or infrastructure that would require integration.
