The procurement is subject to various state and federal regulations, including anti-discrimination clauses, energy efficiency standards, and prohibitions on certain telecommunications equipment.

The procurement is open to all qualified vendors, but the IFB indicates preferences for Louisiana-made products and prohibits the use of certain telecommunications and video surveillance equipment. The IFB does not specify an incumbent vendor or current contractor, nor does it provide any information on the budget range for the contract. Bidders are required to provide their taxpayer identification number and certify that they are not suspended or debarred, but there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond.
