Request for Qualifications - Ky Ignition Interlock Program

This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is issued by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for the Kentucky Ignition Interlock Program (KIIP), which is administered jointly by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Administrative Office of the Courts. The purpose of the RFQ is to certify ignition interlock device providers to supply devices and services for the KIIP for the certification period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024. The application deadline is December 27, 2022. Successful device providers must be able to provide devices and services that meet the technical and operational requirements specified in the RFQ, including installation, calibration, monitoring, and removal of ignition interlock devices. The RFQ outlines the certification process, including the $500 application fee, experience requirements, and service center inspection and approval criteria. It also specifies the maximum fees that can be charged to participants, with provisions for reduced fees based on declarations of indigence. The RFQ prohibits the subcontracting of interlock device and services to consumers, in order to maintain the chain of evidence for court testimony and evidentiary procedures. The RFQ also includes requirements for record-keeping, reporting, and access to records by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and other state agencies.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not provide information on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ does not include any information on possible award values or budget ranges.
