License Plate Reader Data Tools

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Directorate of Intelligence is seeking vendor-supported License Plate Reader (LPR) data tools and services through a Request for Information (RFI). The FBI aims to acquire LPR data from publicly or commercially available sources, including law enforcement and government camera networks, without establishing its own camera infrastructure. Key requirements include a user-friendly graphical interface, robust system security with 508 compliance, configurable data retention options, and cloud-based storage meeting minimum security standards. The solution must provide advanced features such as artificial intelligence capabilities, geospatial search functionality, image and video capture, and mobile device compatibility, with API access and platform capabilities. The RFI emphasizes that respondents must be US-based companies providing actual LPR data tools through Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery rather than resellers. Responses are due by 5:00 PM ET on November 6, 2025, submitted to Joseph Spatafore (jspatafore@fbi.gov) in Microsoft Word or PDF format not exceeding 15 pages, and answers to submitted questions were uploaded on October 30, 2025.

This is a pre-solicitation market research initiative with no set-aside designation and carries no guarantee of a future solicitation or contract award. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are identified in the opportunity materials. The FBI is seeking flexible licensing models with tiered pricing structures based on user count ranges from 1-5 users to 500 or more licenses, along with separate pricing for API queries. Vendors are expected to detail their existing LPR network infrastructure and associated hardware capabilities, support and maintenance offerings, and licensing models. The RFI does not mandate a specific cloud service provider; instead, it focuses on meeting defined security requirements. The FBI may request vendor demonstrations as part of the information-gathering process to better understand available LPR data solutions that can support its investigative needs.
