The chosen Contractor shall provide a fully operational, local and long distance, secure and reliable statewide Inmate Phone Service (IPS). The Contractor-provided IPS system shall be inclusive of all equipment, installation, infrastructure and network, training, operation, and ongoing repairs and maintenance of the entire system and its components.
