NIGP 57572: Reader, Microfiche and Microfilm

NIGP 57572 Reader, Microfiche And Microfilm is an Item code under which state and local governments procure production-grade microfiche scanners and document scanning services that convert physical records into digital formats. Recent solicitations show two distinct procurement patterns: equipment purchases for law enforcement records operations and comprehensive scanning-services contracts covering pickup, document preparation, scanning, indexing, optical character recognition conversion, and secure delivery of digitized materials. Issuing bodies include county records and treasury divisions and law enforcement agencies; Broward County's Records, Taxes and Treasury Division has posted multiple open-end indefinite-quantity solicitations for document scanning services with three-year initial terms and two optional one-year renewals, indicating sustained demand for outsourced scanning capacity. Vendors responding to scanning-services contracts must demonstrate substantial compliance infrastructure, including SOC 2 or SOC 3 Type I or II certification, HIPAA compliance with Business Associate Agreements, twenty-four-hour monitored facilities with surveillance and access controls, fire suppression and backup power systems, NAID certification, and comprehensive insurance including Cyber Liability of $2,000,000 per claim and Professional Liability of $2,000,000 per claim.

Recent activity centers in Florida. Hillsborough County issued an intent to single-source a Crowley Company UScan+ Advanced series production microfiche scanner for the Sheriff's Office Records Bureau, with an intent comment period due July 6, 2026. Broward County posted Document and Media Scanning Services open-end contracts on February 25, 2026 (due March 3) and April 23, 2026 (due May 4), both seeking qualified vendors for on-call scanning support across multiple county agencies with tiered unit-cost pricing structures. All Broward County scanning solicitations require E-Verify compliance, current Broward County Local Business Tax Receipt for local vendors, Level 1 Florida Department of Law Enforcement background clearance for facility personnel, and vendor questionnaire certification of non-debarment status. No specific contract values, guaranteed minimum quantities, or award incumbents are identified in the available documentation.
