FALCON and Multi-Biometric Identification Solution (MBIS) Records Remediation

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is planning a single source procurement for the FALCON and Multi-Biometric Identification Solution (MBIS) Records Remediation project, with a solicitation number of SS-14265. The purpose of this contract is to address record discrepancies between the FALCON system and MBIS, which is a proprietary biometric identification platform hosted on Idemia's Azure Government cloud. The procurement is driven by a statutory requirement to publicly advertise the intent at least fifteen business days prior to award, emphasizing transparency and compliance with procurement regulations. The estimated contract value ranges from $500,000 to $2,000,000, with a specific initial budget of approximately $100,000 for a 12-month period, indicating a focus on remediation services rather than a full system overhaul. The procurement process involves a response deadline of November 21, 2025, and the posting date of the notice was October 30, 2025. The primary point of contact is Angela Githens, reachable via email at [email hidden] or by phone at [phone hidden]. The documentation highlights that the MBIS system is proprietary and hosted on Idemia's cloud infrastructure, which justifies the single source approach to ensure system integrity and security. The documentation also includes a detailed justification for selecting Idemia Identity & Security USA LLC as the sole provider, emphasizing the specialized nature of the services and the proprietary technology involved. The contract aims to ensure accurate biometric records management and system interoperability, supporting FDLE’s law enforcement and public safety missions.
