OPD Fingerprint Training

The City of Orlando and Orange County, Florida are seeking a sole source procurement for specialized fingerprint training software from Mideo Systems Inc. through a sole source notification process (Solicitation Number S25-0391). The procurement specifically involves the TrainingWorks Fingerprint Comparison Training software, which provides a comprehensive SQL-server database training infrastructure for law enforcement fingerprint comparison professionals. The software covers extensive training modules including History, Pattern Interpretation, Classification, AFIS, ACE-V, Courtroom Testimony, and Latent Comparisons. Key deliverables include advanced features such as embedded administrator management tools, capacity for 10,000 ground-truth comparisons, complete system auditing, student tracking, automatic grading, and an embedded graphic imaging engine for onscreen comparison and image enhancement. The procurement timeline requires potential alternative suppliers to submit product information, qualifications, and capabilities by May 5, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. (ET), with the sole source posting remaining active for seven calendar days. Interested suppliers must communicate directly with Angela Thomas, Senior Purchasing Agent, via email at angela.thomas@orlando.gov.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organization types. Mideo Systems Inc. is positioned as the exclusive vendor, emphasizing their unique capability to provide software updates, technical support, and module modifications. The document does not disclose a specific contract value or budget range for this procurement. No incumbent vendor information beyond Mideo Systems is provided, and there are no explicit details about integration requirements with existing technological infrastructure. The sole source notification process allows for potential alternative suppliers to demonstrate equivalent capabilities, though Mideo Systems strongly asserts their software's uniqueness. The procurement appears focused on a specialized training solution for the Orlando Police Department's forensic fingerprint comparison training needs, with an apparent emphasis on comprehensive, technologically advanced educational tools specifically designed for law enforcement training environments.
