From the meeting
Santa Fe County said federal election changes should come with funding, technology, training, and realistic implementation timelines. The letter cites election-security infrastructure, cybersecurity partnerships, threat intelligence, technical assistance, and security services as ongoing needs under County Clerk Katharine E. Clark.
It also flags ballot-mail tracking, acceptance scans, postmarks, and chain-of-custody records as operational concerns. This is a policy and funding signal, not a procurement award.

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.
