County Seeks Contractor to Overhaul Alarm Registration and Billing

The Revenue Authority of Prince George's County issued a request for proposals on December 3, 2025 seeking an offeror to manage the county false alarm and alarm registration program. The solicitation calls for a contractor to develop and maintain a database, administer registrations, track alarms, and handle billing and revenue share services for the county. The posting and related documents are available on the county solicitations page at https://www.princegeorgescountymd.gov/departments-offices/revenue-authority/solicitations?utm_source=openai.

A virtual preproposal information session was scheduled on the day the RFP was posted. The formal question and answer deadline is today, December 10, 2025, and the authority has indicated it will publish responses to submitted questions on December 17, 2025. Proposals are due in January 2026, with the exact submission date specified in the solicitation documents.

This procurement will determine who operates core components of the county alarm program, functions that affect both public safety operations and local revenue flows. For residents and business owners who maintain monitored burglar or fire alarms, the contract could alter how registrations are processed, how false alarms are counted, and how fees are issued and collected. For local alarm companies and property managers, the RFP represents a significant business opportunity and may change vendor roles in registration and billing.

Administratively, the county is seeking to centralize data and automate tracking, which could reduce manual processing and improve fee collection accuracy. The inclusion of revenue share services means the selected contractor could receive a portion of collected fees, making performance on registration and billing both operational and financial priorities. The contract design therefore has implications for transparency, data governance, and how quickly residents receive accurate billing statements.

Stakeholders should review the solicitation documents and the posted Q and A for details on technical requirements, data ownership, and fee structures. Residents and businesses with alarm systems should verify their current registration status with county records and monitor the solicitation page for answers and submission timelines through January 2026.
