Additionally, the respondent must clarify the device's effectiveness in transmitting location data in environments where GPS signals are obstructed, including whether additional or auxiliary equipment is necessary to maintain this capability. Installation and removal of the devices will be handled exclusively by TJJD staff. The solicitation is focused on acquiring electronic monitoring solutions to support youth supervision, with performance expected in Austin, Texas, and responses due by early February 2026. The agency’s point of contact is Vickie Griffin, and the solicitation falls under the NAICS code 334290, which relates to other communications equipment manufacturing. This contract aims to enhance the department’s ability to monitor and communicate with enrollees reliably and securely.
