Installation of Video Surveillance Systems in TDCJ vehicles.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is seeking proposals to procure and install video surveillance systems in its vehicles through solicitation IW256864, which was posted on July 31, 2026, with a response deadline of August 14, 2026. This procurement is categorized under a state, local, or tribal government agency and is intended to enhance operational security and accountability by equipping TDCJ vehicles with modern surveillance technology. The installation must be performed across the state of Texas, with no specific city or zip code designated for performance, indicating the scope is statewide. Thressa Jacobs from the agency serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries, reachable via phone or email. The solicitation does not specify a set-aside classification or NAICS code, suggesting it is open to all qualified vendors without restrictions based on business size or category. Interested parties must submit their responses prior to the deadline to be considered for a purchase order under this initiative. The contract will cover both the supply of hardware and the professional installation of the surveillance systems, with an emphasis on reliability, compliance with state standards, and seamless integration into existing TDCJ vehicle fleets. Vendors are expected to demonstrate technical capability, experience in similar installations, and the ability to meet deployment timelines across Texas.
