The Ohio Attorney General's Office (AGO), specifically the Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI) Identification Division, is soliciting quotes for Livescan device hardware and software through Request for Quotations (RFQ) #AGO-BCI-LAB-6480-33. The procurement offers two primary options: a complete Livescan system comprising hardware and software, or a software-only solution for agencies with existing BCI-certified Livescan hardware. Vendors must be currently certified Livescan providers capable of submitting 10-print and palm print transactions according to AGO specifications. The complete system includes a laptop computer, FBI-certified fingerprint card printer, 10-print and palm print capture device, necessary cables, power supply, and software for arrest and offender submissions. Potential vendors must demonstrate verifiable capabilities to meet technical requirements, with the AGO evaluating quotes based on comprehensive compliance rather than solely on price. The RFQ was issued on September 18, 2025, with inquiries accepted until September 26, 2025, and quotes due by October 6, 2025. The contract term will run from contract signature through June 30, 2027, with potential renewal options extending to June 30, 2029. While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, the RFQ suggests a competitive procurement process open to qualified Livescan vendors. The AGO has secured grant funding for this project and encourages volume pricing discounts for device orders ranging from 1-10, 11-20, and 21-30 units. Vendors must provide firm, fixed pricing and comply with extensive contractual requirements, including maintaining multiple insurance types such as commercial general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, professional liability, and cyber liability with specified minimum coverage amounts. The contract incorporates a Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal Justice Information Services Security Addendum, indicating potential involvement with sensitive criminal justice information systems. While no specific budget range was detailed, the RFQ suggests a comprehensive procurement with potential significant investment in technological infrastructure across Ohio's criminal justice agencies, particularly in Mahoning County. All proposed solutions must be certified by BCI and adhere to specified technical interface specifications, ensuring high standards of technological compatibility and performance.
