FY26-EOPSS-NOI-Ongoing Maintenance-Fingerprint Devices

The Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS) is seeking an emergency one-year contract amendment for ongoing maintenance, support, and repair of fingerprint biometric devices used by law enforcement agencies statewide. The procurement will cover the fiscal year period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and is being conducted under the original bid solicitation number BD-15-1044-EPS17-1044P-0000000356. The contract's primary objective is to ensure continuous operational readiness of critical law enforcement technology infrastructure by maintaining and supporting existing fingerprint devices. Deliverables include comprehensive maintenance services, technical support, and repair agreements for biometric devices currently deployed across Massachusetts law enforcement entities. The procurement is considered critical to public safety, with a focus on preventing any potential disruptions to law enforcement operations that could result from lapses in device maintenance. The notice of intent was posted on May 29, 2025, with the same date serving as the proposal due date, indicating an expedited procurement process for this emergency contract amendment.

The contract involves three previously awarded vendors: Idemia, HID Global Corporation, and Dataworks Plus, who will continue to provide maintenance services for the existing fingerprint biometric devices. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondents are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears focused on maintaining existing technology infrastructure with established vendors. The emergency nature of the contract suggests a sole-source or limited competitive approach, given the critical public safety implications. The existing technology appears to be fingerprint biometric devices already purchased and deployed by various law enforcement agencies throughout Massachusetts. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the contract is designed to cover ongoing maintenance and support for the current inventory of fingerprint devices, indicating a continuation of existing technological investments. The procurement aims to ensure uninterrupted operational capabilities for law enforcement technology across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
