Reach Out Initiative

The Arizona Justice Criminal Commission (ACJC) is soliciting feedback and recommendations through a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the development and implementation of a Reach Out Initiative (ROI) Tracking Database. This procurement seeks to replace the ACJC's existing web-based database system that currently converts paper forms into electronic forms accessible via computers and tablets. The primary objective is to develop a new system that addresses critical limitations in the current platform, specifically the inability to extract, share, and update information from Record Management Systems (RMS) such as the Jail Management System (JMS). The deliverables for this initiative include a modernized database solution that maintains the electronic form functionality while enabling seamless integration and data exchange with existing criminal justice record management systems. Interested parties were required to submit responses by December 21, 2022, with the RFI posted on November 30, 2022, providing a submission window of approximately three weeks.

The RFI document provided does not specify set-aside designations, restrictions on respondent types, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, incumbent vendors, or budget ranges for this procurement opportunity. However, given the technical nature of the project, potential respondents should expect that qualifications will likely include demonstrated experience in database development, criminal justice information systems integration, and experience working with RMS and JMS platforms. Organizations responding to this RFI should be prepared to detail their technical capabilities for system modernization, data integration expertise, and understanding of criminal justice operational requirements. The absence of detailed evaluation criteria in the available documentation suggests that the ACJC may be using this RFI phase to gather market insights before issuing a formal solicitation with more comprehensive specifications and award parameters.
