Modified Nintendo Switch Consoles (No Controllers)

The California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation is seeking a subcontractor to supply and modify Nintendo Switch consoles for use in correctional facilities, with specific hardware alterations to eliminate all wireless and network connectivity capabilities including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular functions. The consoles must also have their game cartridge readers physically removed to prevent unauthorized game media insertion, ensuring the devices cannot access external content or communicate with external networks. These modifications are intended to create secure, isolated units suitable for institutional environments where uncontrolled digital access poses a risk. The contract requires delivery of the modified consoles without controllers and is classified under NAICS code 334419 for other computer equipment manufacturing. The solicitation was posted on July 8, 2026, with proposals due by July 18, 2026. The project is designated as a subcontract and does not specify any small business set-asides or additional demographic considerations. All work must be performed to meet the department’s stringent security requirements, and the final products must be fully compliant with facility safety protocols, though the exact quantity, delivery schedule, and technical specifications are not provided in the public posting.
