The Federal Bureau of Prisons is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to gather information about potential solutions for an industrial style PC enclosure. The hardware should be able to house a Small Form Factor (SFF) or desktop mini pc. The PC Enclosure should be hardened to prevent tampering in a correctional environment. The hardware should have options for tamper-resistant touch screen and/or industrial style peripherals. The BOP seeks information about vendor provided solutions inclusive to maintenance and support. Furthermore, the BOP is interested in solutions that have integration and interoperability potential with the current BOP provided Small Form Factor (SFF) and Desktop Mini PC. For this option, solution information should include details about maintenance and support. The BOP intends to use the information provided by responsive vendors to further refine their specifications for the eventual solicitation and acquisition of such a PC enclosure. Vendors are expected to answer the specific questions outlined in this RFI in detail, including descriptions of actual hardware, necessary software, required peripherals, and configuration specifications. A response stating the vendor’s solution is compatible with the specified requirements will be considered non-responsive. Vendors should submit a solution that addresses the functional, technical, and security requirements identified in the RFI. Compliance with specific DOJ IT security requirements will be a key consideration and those requirements are described in the various sections below. The BOP may schedule an onsite or remote demonstration, at BOP headquarters, of select systems for vendors to provide more detailed information and showcase system functionality. Web/virtual conferencing platforms such as Cisco WebEx, Citrix GoToMeeting, Microsoft Teams, or Adobe Connect may be utilized for remote demonstrations, accommodating at least ten (10) possible connections. Please see attachement Documents for additional information.
