Who to Contact About Jefferson County Detention (purchasing, invoices, and RFP questions)

For RFP and purchasing questions, Jefferson County listed Julie Anglea as the Purchasing Agent and point of contact. You can reach her at 865-397-4922 ext. 2115 or by email at janglea@jeffersoncountytn.gov.

For invoice submission by email, the county’s Accounts Payable contact is Jessica Gonzalez. Electronic invoices can be sent to jgonzalez@jeffersoncountytn.gov.

If you need to mail invoices, they can be sent to the Jefferson County Finance Department, Attention: Jessica Gonzalez, P.O. Box 1749, Dandridge, TN 37725. This same P.O. Box 1749 address is also listed as a mailing option for sealed proposals.

Reach out to Julie Anglea (Purchasing Agent) for RFP-related questions - clarifications, requirements, or anything a bidder would normally route through the official point of contact. Timing matters: for the Inmate Pharmacy Services RFP, bidder questions were due by 4:00 pm ET on September 19, 2024, with county answers expected by 4:00 pm ET on September 24, 2024.

Purchasing can also help confirm submission logistics - and the county's rules are strict. Proposals must include one original and two copies, plus Bid Forms A, B, and Exhibit A. Miss any of these, and your submission won't be considered. Same goes for deadlines: late submittals are rejected outright, and modifications received after the opening date won't be reviewed.

Under the Inmate Pharmacy Services arrangement, Jefferson County Correctional Facility is invoiced monthly.
