From the meeting
The jail agenda included a Guardian RFID Scanning System item. The packet does not say whether this was a purchase, renewal, or implementation step, but it shows a specific jail technology need already on the table. A vendor would want to confirm the current system state, contract status, and any installation or support follow-on.

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 DeKalb County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
