What the agency needs

Request For Proposal from Collin County, TX — McKinney, TX

Collin County, TX — Sheriffs Office has issued request for proposal, solicitation 2026-155.

Collin County’s intent of this Request for Proposal (RFP) and resulting contract is to provide contractors with sufficient information to prepare a proposal for full-body scanner, and all necessary peripherals and equipment for the admissions area of the Collin County Detention Facility. This RFP will also include professional installation and configuration services and rapid response technical hardware and software support (not to exceed a four (4) hour turnaround).

As part of its public-safety mission, Collin County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), 4300 Community Ave., McKinney, TX 75071, operates a 1,478-bed county jail, including a stand-alone minimum-security facility with 192 beds. In recent months, the jail’s average daily population has trended over 1,000. The detention officers in admissions screen approximately 15,000 persons brought to the county jail each year. Screening includes searches and property checks under 37 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 265. These officers would use a new full-body scanner system to help perform this work. These officers create a new record—a “jailing”—for each arrested person taken into admissions. A jailing contains certain information, such as the person’s name, TRN (incident tracking number), charge and arrest information, and criminal-history information. The County’s facilities for an arrested person’s first appearance before a magistrate are inside the county jail’s admissions area. The magistrate does things like set bail and decide conditions of pretrial release (or denial of bail). Afterwards, detention officers release these persons from jail, or they transfer them to the jail’s housing areas.

Responses are due September 17, 2026 at 2:00 PM CDT.

Questions must be submitted by September 4, 2026 at 5:00 PM CDT.

A mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for August 24, 2026 at 10:00 AM CDT at Collin County Justice Center, 4300 Community Ave., McKinney, TX 75071 (meet in lobby).
