Richland County Electronic Monitoring RFP Moves Into Post-Bid Review
Richland County Electronic Monitoring RFP Moves Into Post-Bid Review
Richland County's solicitation for electronic monitoring services reached its August 12 proposal deadline, moving the procurement beyond the response period while vendor selection remains unresolved.
The stated proposal deadline for RC-810-RFP-26 was August 12, 2026. OACRA found no official award, vendor selection, or deadline extension in the public records reviewed as of August 14. The procurement should therefore be treated as response period closed with award activity still pending, rather than as an open bidding opportunity.

What changed
Richland County's electronic monitoring procurement has passed its stated response deadline. The county procurement listing identified RC-810-RFP-26 as an electronic monitoring solicitation released July 13 with proposals due August 12.
Because that deadline has passed, the procurement is no longer appropriately described as a live bidding opportunity. The next meaningful lifecycle event will be an official evaluation, recommendation, award, contract action, cancellation, or other agency notice.
What Richland County is seeking
The solicitation seeks qualified contractors specializing in technology and services used to track and monitor detainees for compliance. Procurement materials describe an anticipated monitored population of more than 450 detainees at any given time, with an average monitoring period of approximately 300 days, while reserving the county's ability to vary participation levels.
The successful contractor is expected to provide the equipment and supporting technology needed for the monitoring service, including hardware, software, tracking capabilities, technical support, training, and reporting functions.
The next material update would be an award, contract, cancellation, rebid, or other official procurement action.
Why it matters
The contract will support electronic monitoring for a county program serving more than 450 detainees at a time. The selected system and service model will determine the monitoring equipment, software, technical support, reporting, and related operational services used by the program.
