The Department of Correction is contracting with Forerunner Technologies, Inc. to provide maintenance, repair, software upgrades and phone system administration services to its Teltronics PBX and Cisco IP Telephone Systems at various facilities on Rikers Island and throughout the five boroughs of the City of New York.

Any firm which believes it can provide the required services in the future is invited to express interest via email. The services cannot be timely procured through competitive sealed bidding or competitive sealed proposals. The department is utilizing Negotiated Acquisition to provided continued service.
