Dallas County has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for an offender management system solution.

The requested solution will be used as a pilot program for the monitoring of low- to medium-risk offenders to reduce recidivism. The county plans to start with 300 monitored offenders and gradually increase that number.

The system must be web-based, provide access to virtual educational courses, produce real-time program and offender reports, capture overall compliance statistics and include a smartphone application as an alternative to electronic monitoring devices.

The requested smartphone app must be capable of verifying a participant’s identity via biometric check-ins, capture location data and report the disabling of GPS functionality by the user.

More detailed information about RFP No. 2024-031-7018, including all minimum requirements and requested services, can be found online. A virtual pre-proposal meeting has been scheduled for 11 a.m. Aug. 26. The deadline for question submissions is 10 a.m. Aug. 28. The deadline for proposal submissions is 2 p.m. Sept. 19. Dhestini Bizor is the point of contact for this RFP.
