They are looking to schedule presentations with 8 different vendors (of 10 that responded). The team was surprised by how many vendors responded and that they have the technology capacity for what they are looking for. They continue to want to have the device provided by the vendor, and a few of the vendors shared in their responses that they can do that.

NY DOCCS will be reviewing each of the RFI vendor responses before the next team meeting on February 13.
