Remote Interdiction Pilot Program

The Florida Department of Corrections is soliciting replies for a Remote Interdiction Pilot Program to be implemented at the Suwannee Annex Correctional Institution. The program aims to enhance institutional security and reduce the frequency and severity of inmate-led violent acts and disturbances through the use of non-lethal Artificial Intelligence and other modern technologies. The selected contractor will install equipment and infrastructure within one inmate housing unit, integrate the solution with the facility's security operations center, and ensure the system meets US FDA requirements. The initial contract term is for up to one year, with the possibility of up to three additional one-year renewals. Award decisions will be based on best value, with a final evaluation score comprising a weighted Technical Reply (up to 750 points) and a Cost Reply (up to 250 points). Vendors must submit their replies in specific tabbed formats, with the Cost Reply provided in a separate sealed envelope and on a flash drive. The contract includes strict compliance requirements, including adherence to the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Prison Rape Elimination Act, and CJIS standards. Performance is tied to a Pilot Project Plan, with financial consequences of 500 dollars per day for late deliverables or system unavailability, and a 100,000 dollar penalty per occurrence for unauthorized or unnecessary use of force.
