Pager System

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, located in Corcoran, California, requires a vendor to provide a closed, proprietary radio frequency pager system. The agency needs this system to send short messages and alerts securely, ensuring that administrative menus remain completely inaccessible to the incarcerated population. The scope of work covers the delivery of small, wireless paging devices, a tracking system, staff training, and ongoing technical assistance. The requested paging devices must feature strong vibration alerts and visual screen alerts to communicate real-time, alphanumeric, pre-set, and full-text messages. The system must also include robust auditing capabilities, allowing the agency to confirm all messages sent within a specified time frame and maintain a complete history of pages sent to each registered person. The agency is establishing a contract period of one year for these goods and services. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the performance of the work to take place offsite, and bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the online portal. The agency is currently seeking proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a pre-set funding limit.
