THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Purchasing is requesting authority to advertise an RFP that combines Inmate Video Visitation Support Services and Public Coin and Inmate Phone Services for the Sheriff's Office. No incumbent is named, and this appears to consolidate services under a single procurement. Telecom, video visitation, and corrections technology providers should track when the RFP posts, as this will be a multi-year revenue opportunity with complex service and commission structures.
RFP will cover both support services and public coin / inmate phones, likely replacing or consolidating existing contracts.

Questions about this project
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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Bexar County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
