About this file
This is an Addendum to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) Purchasing Services for the UNCW Records Management System and Computer Aided Dispatch system. The UNCW Police Department seeks a fully integrated software solution to replace its current Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management (RMS) system, along with field reporting and mobile CAD capabilities. The new system must interface with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations Division of Criminal Information for NIBRS crime data reporting, driver's license and vehicle registration information retrieval, and NCIC integration. Current data requires archiving with searchable functionality, though migration into the new system is not mandatory. The current system, acquired from EFORCE in 2021, expires on December 1, 2026. The RFP opening date and time is October 27, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. ET. The purchasing agent is Paul Wagoner, and the RFP number is 72-PPBW27017.
This Addendum introduces Attachment G: IT Services & Systems Addendum, which establishes comprehensive requirements for vendor handling of personally identifiable information (PII), data security, confidentiality, and compliance standards. The vendor must implement secure data protection measures, maintain disaster recovery plans, comply with federal regulations including FERPA, the Privacy Act of 1974, HIPAA, the ADA, the North Carolina Identity Theft Protection Act, and the North Carolina Public Records Act. The vendor is required to provide a 90-day transition period for data extraction upon contract termination, maintain PCI DSS compliance if handling payment card information with annual attestations, and notify UNCW within 24 hours of any security breaches. The vendor assumes all financial liability for notification costs and remediation related to security breaches caused by vendor acts or omissions, and must provide third-party security audit reports upon request.

The awarded solution must be able to interface with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations Division of Criminal Information for reporting of NIBRS crime data, obtaining drivers’ license and vehicle registration information, and interfacing with NCIC.

(iii) who made the unauthorized use or received the unauthorized disclosure;
(iv) what Vendor has done or shall do to mitigate any deleterious effect of the unauthorized use or disclosure; and

UNCW, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to require Vendor to submit to a plan of monitoring and reporting; provide Vendor with a fifteen (15) day period to cure the breach; or terminate the Agreement immediately if cure is not possible, subject to Vendor’s obligations upon termination described in this paragraph 6. Vendor shall provide any such other information relevant to UNCW’s breach investigation and mitigation, including a written report, as reasonably requested by UNCW.
