Description
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (via its health‑care arm, CCHCS) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking vendor input on commercially‑available wearable monitoring solutions for use in correctional health‑care settings. The RFI is an information‑gathering step that will shape a future solicitation for a pilot or full‑scale deployment across up to 34 state prisons. Respondents must describe hardware durability, geolocation, vital‑sign monitoring, safety alerts, integration APIs, security compliance (HIPAA, CJIS), implementation support, and provide cost estimates. No firm contract award or budget is disclosed at this stage.
• Required deliverables: completed questionnaires (Attachments A‑D), vendor profile, cost estimates, and a signed cover letter in PDF format.
• Mandatory compliance: HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, CJIS security standards, insurance minimums ($1 M each), and adherence to California public‑record rules.
• Timeline: intent‑to‑respond by May 8 2026, questions due May 15 2026, final response due May 29 2026. All submissions go to Jonathan Raitt via email.
