FY22-DYRS- Request For Quote - RFTOB-GPS Monitoring Services and Transmitter Device - FOR GSA ONLY

The District of Columbia's Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for GPS Monitoring Services and Transmitter Devices, specifically targeted at vendors with General Services Administration (GSA) contracts. This procurement seeks comprehensive electronic monitoring solutions for tracking youth offenders, with a focus on advanced GPS tracking technology and associated service infrastructure. The solicitation appears to be a competitive procurement designed to secure a vendor capable of providing sophisticated monitoring equipment and real-time tracking capabilities for juvenile justice management. The contract opportunity was posted on March 29, 2022, with proposals due by April 19, 2022, indicating a relatively compressed procurement timeline. Key deliverables likely include GPS transmitter devices, monitoring software, reporting mechanisms, and potentially 24/7 tracking and alert systems for juvenile probation and rehabilitation programs.

The procurement appears to be restricted to GSA-approved vendors, which suggests a pre-qualification framework is already in place for potential bidders. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, GSA contract holders often include small businesses, veteran-owned businesses, and minority-owned enterprises. The contract seems specifically designed for technology vendors with demonstrated capabilities in electronic monitoring systems for correctional or judicial management applications. Although precise budget ranges are not specified, GPS monitoring contracts for government agencies typically range from $50,000 to $500,000 annually, depending on the number of tracked individuals and complexity of the monitoring requirements. Integration capabilities with existing District of Columbia juvenile justice management systems will likely be a critical evaluation criterion for potential vendors.
