Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Audit Services

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is seeking qualified vendors to perform comprehensive audits to assess compliance with the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Prisons and Jail Standards at all its correctional facilities across Texas. These audits must be conducted by certified PREA Auditors every three years at each facility, with performance occurring throughout the state and no physical delivery of goods involved. The solicitation, issued under number 696-AR-26-P018 and posted on April 13, 2026, with a submission deadline of May 13, 2026, requires all proposals to be submitted electronically through the Euna Procurement portal, and bidders must register and actively monitor the portal for updates or amendments. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541690, and the primary point of contact is Shannon Foster-North, who can be reached via email or phone for procurement inquiries. Contract performance is governed exclusively by adherence to the PREA standards, with no additional specifications, packaging requirements, or financial details provided in the available documentation. While the contract type, evaluation factors, and award basis are not explicitly stated, the requirement for certified auditors and the federal nature of the compliance standards impose strict personnel and procedural qualifications. There is no mention of subcontracting rules, security clearances, option periods, or organizational conflict of interest provisions. Invoicing and payment administration are handled entirely through the Euna Procurement portal with no reference to federal systems like WAWF or IPP, and no accounting or appropriation data is disclosed. The solicitation lacks details on evaluation weights, cost structure, proposal formatting rules, or required certifications beyond auditor certification, meaning offerors must rely on the full package available via the portal for complete submission instructions.
