From the meeting
At the August 7, 2026 meeting, Sheriff Faile said the new detention center was expected to open in March 2027. The facility was nearing completion, so the core buying decision appears done and the remaining need is move-in, startup, and support services. This is relevant for vendors tied to detention operations, security systems, furnishings, and activation work.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
