The Iowa Judicial Branch (IJB) is seeking proposals for tracking, monitoring, and outreach services for juveniles within the second judicial district. The primary goal is to assist youth in remaining in the community by ensuring daily accountability and reducing further law violations. Services include in-home supervision, urine specimen collection, community service monitoring, client transportation, and liaison with juvenile court officers. The contract will have an initial term of one year with up to five one-year renewals. The anticipated maximum annual contract budget is $325,000. Proposals are due by 3:00 PM Central Time on June 10, 2026. All proposals must be submitted electronically to the issuing officer. Respondents must adhere to specific formatting and content requirements for both technical and cost proposals. The IJB reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and will award the contract based on the best value to the state, not necessarily the lowest cost.
The deadline for submitting proposals is June 10, 2026, at 3:00 PM Central Time.
The State of Iowa is allowed sixty (60) days to pay an invoice submitted by a vendor, as per Iowa Code ****.
The IJB will award the contract to the responsible respondent whose responsive proposal the IJB believes will provide the best value to the state.
Respondents must be responsible, meaning they have the capability in all material respects to perform the scope of work and specifications of the contract. The IJB may consider competence, qualifications, integrity, reliability, past performance, and the best interest of the IJB and the state.
Appeals of the notice of intent to award need to be received in the office of the state court administrator within 5 calendar days following the posting of the notice of intent to award a contract.
Proposals may be rejected for reasons including, but not limited to, failure to submit electronic copies as required, non-compliance with mandatory specifications, altering material specifications, limiting the rights of the IJB, failure to provide necessary substantiating information, unauthorized contact with state employees, misleading or inaccurate responses, or failure to disclose required information regarding terminations, penalties, or litigation.
The anticipated maximum annual contract budget is $325,000.
