MobileIdent Devices

The State of Colorado, on behalf of Denver County and Denver City, is procuring MobileIdent Devices through a sole source procurement mechanism. This procurement was posted on December 7, 2015, with a deadline of December 10, 2015, providing a compressed timeline for submission. The procurement specifically targets mobile biometric identification devices designed to support law enforcement and identification operations across the jurisdictions. The devices must meet specialized technical and functional requirements that are integral to the state's operational capabilities. The deliverable consists of MorphoTrak's MobileIdent Devices, which are specified as the technology solution required to fulfill the state's identification and biometric processing needs. The procurement emphasizes compatibility with existing systems and the proprietary nature of the technology, establishing that no reasonable alternative sources can adequately meet the state's requirements.

The sole source justification indicates that this procurement is restricted to MorphoTrak, as the vendor's MobileIdent Devices represent the only available solution that meets the state's specific technical specifications and operational requirements. This procurement approach bypasses the standard competitive bidding process, meaning other vendors are not eligible to respond to this opportunity. The justification document establishes that proprietary technology and specialized capabilities necessitate the direct award without competitive solicitation. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or other procurement restrictions are indicated in the available documentation. The specific contract award value or budget range is not disclosed in the materials provided, though the procurement's technical requirements and sole source status suggest a specialized acquisition of significant operational importance to the state's law enforcement and identification infrastructure.
