5/30/2025 EDIT: 

Hello Members and Users of the Electronic Monitoring Portfolio. NASPO and the State of Connecticut would like to announce an upcoming change to the Electronic Monitoring Portfolio. Through careful consideration and much deliberation, the current Electronic Monitoring Master Agreements will end November 2026, and existing options to renew will not be exercised.

Through collaboration between the State of Nevada and NASPO, a new solicitation will be released this fall, with the goal of having updated Master Agreements in place around May 2026. The goal of this solicitation is to enhance access to the latest technological advancements from Electronic Monitoring Suppliers, as the existing agreements have limitations in incorporating cutting-edge innovations and new product offerings.

This decision was not entered into lightly, as we understand the impact this will have on our suppliers, our state procurement officers, and the end users of the products/services.  However, we do feel this is the best solution for all in the long term. NASPO is dedicated to making sure the portfolios we offer are the best in class.

NASPO has already begun the pre-solicitation activities for Electronic Monitoring. Our plan is to have an RFP released Fall 2025 with Master Agreements in place by May 2026. The overlap of the old and new portfolios is critical to the success and adoption of new Participating Addendums, and our timeline is in an effort to make sure there is no lapse in coverage.

At this time, we are in need of subject matter experts for our Sourcing Team. If you, or anyone you know, is interested, please have them reach out to Tia Corbett at [email protected].

Updates will be made periodically to the NASPO Network and our NASPO ValuePoint website.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have.

Thank you,

Tia Corbett
