IDEMIA Case AFIS Software, Laptop Computer and Case AFIS Training Services

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is conducting a statutorily mandated 15-business day advertisement of an intended single source procurement for the IDEMIA Case AFIS Software, Laptop Computer, and Case AFIS Training Services. The purpose of the IDEMIA Case AFIS system is to assist Latent Print Examiners with their manual comparisons by providing a quick means of importing exemplar prints associated with a case and searching latent prints against them. IDEMIA, located in Anaheim, California, is the sole source for this system due to the customized deployment, including warranty support, technical support services, configuration management, systems administration, performance tuning, programming, training, and return to factory repairs. The key application software is proprietary to IDEMIA. The estimated dollar amount for this procurement is $115,000.

This is a sole source procurement, and no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond have been identified. The incumbent vendor is IDEMIA, as they are the only firm that can provide the end-to-end support required for the Case AFIS system. The procurement is subject to a 7-business day posting period, during which prospective vendors may provide information regarding their ability to supply the commodities or contractual services described. If it is determined that the commodities or contractual services are available only from a single source, FDLE will provide notice of its intended decision to enter a single-source purchase contract in the manner specified in Section 120.57(3), Florida Statutes.
