This is a Pre-Proposal Meeting Attendees List for City Colleges of Chicago's RFP #MWJ2604 for an Identity Verification System, dated July 23, 2026. The solution is designed to detect fraudulent student applications by identifying submissions using stolen or synthetic identities to exploit financial aid programs and applicants with no genuine intent to enroll. The system will provide identity verification, residency-related document verification, and digital fraud assessment capabilities that integrate directly into the student application workflow. The pre-proposal meeting convened 17 attendees representing 11 companies and City Colleges of Chicago, indicating active industry engagement and significant competition for the contract opportunity.

The attendee list includes representation from major technology and services firms such as Deloitte, SAS Institute, TransUnion, GCOM Software LLC, SNtial Technologies, ID Dataweb, Persona Identities Inc., Element451, and Public Sector Solutions Group. Two attendees identified minority vendor certifications: SNtial Technologies' Sandeep Nain holds MBE certification through the Chicago Minority Supplier Diversity Council (CMSDC), and Public Sector Solutions Group's Elias Gonzalez is certified as a Business Enterprise Program (BEP) vendor with the State of Illinois. SAS noted potential partnership intentions with one or two minority vendors if proceeding with a proposal. City Colleges of Chicago was represented by three attendees including Lonnie Washington, suggesting internal stakeholder engagement in the procurement process.
