Pager System

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, located in Corcoran, California, is seeking a vendor to provide a secure pager system. The agency requires small, wireless paging devices, a tracking system, training, and technical assistance to facilitate reliable communication. This system must operate on a closed, proprietary radio frequency network to ensure secure and localized transmission. The agency is trying to solve the problem of sending secure, auditable alerts without allowing the incarcerated population to access administrative menus on the devices. The requested pagers must support strong vibration alerts, visual screen alerts, and various message types including real-time, alphanumeric, pre-set, and full-text messages. Additionally, the system must allow administrators to audit and confirm all sent messages within a specified time frame and maintain a historical log of pages sent to each registered person. Bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The scope of work, including system setup and support, will be performed offsite. The agency is establishing a contract period of one year and is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget. The agency accepts digital proposal submissions via email or through their online portal. No specific evaluation criteria or key dates are provided in the solicitation materials. Bidders must address all technical specifications regarding the proprietary radio frequency network and auditing capabilities in their submissions.
