NASPO ValuePoint has an active portfolio of contracts for Electronic Monitoring of Offenders. The contracts within this portfolio provide electronic monitoring of offenders and these contracts are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2021. As NASPO ValuePoint prepares to re-solicit these contracts through Connecticut as the Lead State (supported by a multi-state Sourcing Team and subject matter experts), we are seeking industry input in order to understand the full breadth of products and services currently available within the location-based offender tracking marketplace. Industry responses to this questionnaire will help NASPO ValuePoint as we assist the Lead and Sourcing Team as they develop the next solicitation.
Specifically, NASPO ValuePoint seeks detailed information regarding location-based tracking devices, electronic surveillance services, and related data analysis, for supervised offenders. In addition to high-risk offender supervision devices/solutions, NASPO ValuePoint is also seeking industry information on devices/solutions for low-risk offender supervision, such as remote officer check-in and communication (with or without location tracking) via mobile phone apps or other smart devices such as a smart watch.
Industry vendors interested in providing information on this subject matter are encouraged to complete the RFI questionnaire on the following link:
