This is a sole source justification letter from Idemia Identity & Security USA LLC to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) Administrative Technology Section regarding automated fingerprint identification systems. The letter, dated August 10, 2026, and addressed to Nancy Fraser, Administrative Administrative Analyst, establishes that Idemia is the sole authorized provider of maintenance services for their proprietary fingerprint identification equipment. The JSO procurement (92787) seeks several IDENT mobile scanners as part of their identification technology modernization efforts. No specific quantities, response dates, or contract terms are detailed in this letter, which serves primarily as a sole source determination document supporting the justification for a non-competitive procurement.

The letter indicates that Idemia manufactures and integrates its equipment at its facility located at 10250 Valley View Road, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344. The sole source justification rests on the proprietary nature of both the hardware and software components, combined with the overall system design, which restricts maintenance services to Idemia as the only authorized provider. This determination effectively removes competitive bidding requirements for the maintenance and support services associated with the IDENT mobile connection devices. No pricing information, contract duration, renewal options, or funding sources are provided in this document.
