IDOC Electronic and GPS Monitoring Services

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) is publicly soliciting bids for a vendor to provide electronic and GPS monitoring services. The successful vendor will be responsible for operating and managing IDOC's electronic monitoring programs, which include radio frequency, cellular, and group monitoring devices, as well as GPS tracking devices, software, and related services. The vendor must provide all necessary equipment, installation, retrieval, maintenance, software, and monitoring services to cover all Illinois counties. Key requirements include real-time and passive GPS tracking capabilities, victim notification features, integration with IDOC's Parole Communications and Control Center, robust security and privacy safeguards, and comprehensive training and customer service. Pricing must be submitted through the State's BidBuy procurement system, and the initial contract term is ten years with no renewal options.

The solicitation does not indicate any set-aside requirements, and there is no mention of an incumbent vendor. The total contract value is not specified, but the IFB provides estimated pricing amounts. Interested vendors must have an active registration in the Illinois Procurement Gateway and submit the required disclosures and certifications, including details on business operations, financial conflicts of interest, and legal proceedings. The State reserves the right to amend the solicitation, reject any or all bids, and waive minor defects. A previous solicitation for these services was cancelled due to the State's determination that the original bid did not adequately address all relevant factors.
