Corrections and Rehabilitation in Statewide, Hawaii is using this solicitation to procure security work. Public agencies typically advertise this kind of work as a Request for Proposals (RFP), evaluating bidders on a combination of qualifications, technical approach, and price.

To submit a proposal for this RFP, review the full solicitation documents for Corrections and Rehabilitation's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit.
