AI Contract Overview
The New York City Department of Correction is seeking information through a Request for Information (RFI) for a modern Visitor Fingerprint Identification System (VFIS) to replace its legacy MorphoBIS AFIS platform. The system must be capable of registering first-time visitors, capturing and storing biometric data, and matching returning visitors across multiple secure correctional facilities. The goal is to implement a scalable solution utilizing a single central database that can be deployed on-premises, in a hybrid model, or via SaaS. Key technical requirements include 1:N fingerprint matching, integration with the Visitor Express System, Jail Management Systems (JMS), and Offender Management Systems (OMS), as well as strict adherence to ADA compliance and US-based data residency. The project is planned for a total of five facilities, including Rikers and four new borough-based jails in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Manhattan, with phased turnovers projected between spring 2029 and 2032. While this is currently a pre-solicitation for market research and not a formal contract, the agency is requesting pricing estimates for approximately 20 total workstations and various system licensing models to inform future funding. Proposed solutions must align with NYC Office of Technology and Innovation cybersecurity standards, including encryption of data at rest and in transit, and may require independent security assessments such as SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001. Responses are managed by Contract Manager Diana Davydova and must be submitted via the PASSPort portal.
