DataWorks LiveScan Imaging Products

Marion County's Information Technology Department is conducting a Request for Quote (RFQ) for DataWorks LiveScan imaging products on behalf of the Juvenile Department and Sheriff's Office. The procurement specifically seeks one or more DataWorks LiveScan Plus 500 DPI Ten print/Palm Print LiveScan Plus systems, including associated hardware and software components. The county requires delivery of the systems within 30-90 days after order receipt, with quotes due by 2:30 PM PST on September 8, 2021. The RFQ provides detailed technical specifications for the LiveScan system and includes components that must be precisely matched. Evaluation criteria appear to focus on price, vendor ability to meet county requirements, and compliance with specified technical specifications. Vendors must complete and return Offeror Representations and Certifications forms and are subject to the county's standard terms and conditions. The county reserves multiple procurement rights, including purchasing from multiple vendors, rejecting all quotes, amending the solicitation, waiving irregularities, and negotiating final work statements.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations. Marion County is standardizing on the DataWorks brand to reduce support and maintenance costs, effectively creating a quasi-sole-source procurement. The county previously awarded a contract to DataWorks in 2018 for similar LiveScan devices and seeks to maintain consistency across local jurisdictions, including Marion County and Salem City. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the procurement involves replacing two aging LiveScan units - one at the Court Annex and another at the County Juvenile Department. The contract includes a one-year firm pricing period with potential extensions up to five years. Pricing terms suggest the county is seeking competitive unit pricing for the specified LiveScan imaging technology, with potential for ongoing procurement relationships based on performance and pricing.
