UNSPSC 92121602: Fingerprint services

UNSPSC 92121602 Fingerprint services (Commodity) encompasses fingerprint collection, scanning, transmission, and applicant processing operations that state and local governments procure to support licensing, criminal justice, and identity verification workflows. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state professional licensing departments, state public safety agencies, county sheriffs' offices, and state insurance departments. The scope of work ranges from discrete fingerprint collection and scanning services with electronic transmission to law enforcement and federal databases, to comprehensive cloud-hosted platforms integrating appointment scheduling, biometric data acquisition, fee collection, call center support, and secure applicant registration systems. Vendors typically must maintain Department of Justice certification, employ certified fingerprint technicians, comply with Criminal Justice Information Services standards, and hold professional certifications specific to the licensing or regulatory domain (such as ARELLO for real estate exam delivery).

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions. The Texas Department of Public Safety issued RFP 405-25R0017163 for the Fingerprint Applicant Services of Texas (FAST) program, a large-scale cloud-hosted platform processing approximately one million applicant submissions annually with 140 public and 94 private fingerprinting locations statewide, with an extended proposal deadline of March 27, 2026.
