BatchScan Workstation

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is seeking to procure a single BatchScan Workstation scanner to convert physical fingerprint cards into an electronic format. This specialized scanner is required to integrate with FDLE's Biometric Identification Solution (BIS), which serves as the central repository and matching mechanism for the state's biometric data. The BatchScan Workstations are used to scan batches of tenprint and palm print cards, converting the data from physical to electronic format for upload to BIS. FDLE has identified IDEMIA Identity & Security USA LLC as the sole source provider of this scanner and associated software, with an estimated cost of $65,000. The justification for this single-source procurement is that the scanner and BIS utilize proprietary software to encode the scanned fingerprint images and convert them for use in BIS, and IDEMIA is the sole provider of this specialized equipment. FDLE is advertising this intended single-source procurement for a minimum of 15 business days, as required by Florida Statutes, to allow for any potential vendors to provide information regarding their ability to supply the required commodities or services.

This is a single-source procurement, and FDLE has not designated any set-aside requirements or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. However, IDEMIA Identity & Security USA LLC is the incumbent vendor for this specialized scanner and software, and the procurement must integrate with FDLE's existing BIS infrastructure. The total award value is estimated at $65,000.
