Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service contract is to establish firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis.
This service contract will provide for maintenance, support, and licenses for an audio and video recording system for the Department of Information and Technology Services.
The Dallas Police Department (DPD) uses the system to record telephone conversations and video. Without this service, DPD will lose an invaluable tool used in multiple operational divisions. This service allows officers to gather evidentiary material to help build cases for prosecution while maintaining covert capacity.
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes.
