About this opportunity

The U.S. Department of State has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition to acquire 10 Regula Forensic Document Scanners, valued at approximately $20,000, to support the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement and Homeland Security's Biometric Data Sharing Program with the Government of Panama. The procurement is justified on the basis that the Regula Forensics Inc brand of scanners is the exclusive hardware compatible with the existing Universal Biometric Client software used by the Panamanian government, and using another manufacturer's hardware would require significant software integration and development work. The contract was awarded to an unknown vendor on April 11, 2024.
