OAG RFO Statewide Automated Victims Notification Services (SAVNS)

The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) in the state of Texas is issuing a Request for Offers (RFO) for Statewide Automated Victim Notification Services (SAVNS). The OAG is seeking a single or multiple vendors to provide the development, implementation, and execution of a statewide automated victim notification system. The system must deliver reliable, scalable, and flexible services to provide near-real-time data and notifications to victims and criminal justice professionals. Responses are due by July 18, 2024, at 3pm Central Time, and Roxanne D. Koltermann is the sole point of contact for inquiries. The RFO outlines detailed requirements for the contractor, participating entities, and the OAG. Performance measures, non-performance remedies, and invoicing requirements are also included.

The RFO does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current business model involves the OAG certifying a single contractor to provide SAVNS services to participating entities, which then contract directly with the certified contractor. The OAG will provide grants to the participating entities to reimburse their SAVNS-related expenses. The contract resulting from this RFO may be awarded to a single or multiple vendors, but the RFO does not provide any details on incumbent vendors, existing infrastructure, technology requirements, award values, or budget ranges.
