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

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is planning to award a single source contract to IDEMIA Identity & Security USA LLC for the FALCON and Multi-Biometric Identification Solution (MBIS) Records Remediation project. This initiative aims to address and remediate record discrepancies between the FALCON system and MBIS, specifically related to issues with the delete mechanism that were identified after deployment. The contract is valued between $500,000 and $2,000,000, with an initial intended price of $100,000, reflecting the scope of the remediation efforts. The procurement process is conducted under the authority of Florida statutes and administrative rules, with the notice indicating that IDEMIA is the sole provider capable of supporting the proprietary MBIS system, thus justifying the single source award. The project is part of the FDLE’s ongoing efforts to ensure the integrity and accuracy of biometric and criminal records management systems. The contract's response deadline is December 1, 2025, and interested parties can find additional details through the Florida Marketplace vendor portal. The notice emphasizes transparency and adherence to legal requirements, providing contact information for the primary point of contact, Angela Githens, and instructions for protest filing if necessary. This procurement underscores the FDLE’s commitment to maintaining secure, reliable biometric identification systems critical for law enforcement operations across Florida.
