What this contract is for

The purpose of Amendment 0001 is to: 1) Extend the due date for receipt of Phase A quotations to July 24, 2026 5:00pm CST 2) Provide the Q&A document 3) Provide the following updated attachments that correspond with the Q&A: a) Attachment 1: SOW b) Attachment A: Equipment per State 4) Make other updates to the SF-30, including clarifying in Section L.1 that resumes do not count towards page limitations and deleting clause 52.225-19. Judiciaries in Mexico’s border states (i.e. Baja California Norte, Sonora,Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas) face persistent security and operational challenges when hearing cases involving detainees imprisoned for TCO-related activities. Reliance on in-person hearings requires frequent inmate transport from detention facilities, creating elevated risks of escape, violence, intimidation of judicial personnel, and disruptions to proceedings. These risks contribute to hearing delays, case backlogs, and reduced judicial effectiveness at a time when TCO and FTO-related activity along the U.S.-Mexico border remains acute. The problem stems from limited access to secure, court-approved telepresence technology, uneven digital infrastructure, and procedural frameworks that have not adapted to evolving security threats. Addressing this issue is critical to ensure timely prosecution of high-impact cases. This project will equip up to four state or federal judiciaries and their courtrooms in Mexico’s northern border states and the corresponding penitentiaries in those states or judicial districts with telepresence systems and secure digital communication platforms.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
