Idemia Iris Cameras

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has announced its intention to award a single source contract to Idemia Identity & Security USA LLC for the procurement of Idemia Iris Cameras, specifically the Idemia LiveScan Iris Capture TD200 devices. This procurement is part of a pilot program aimed at enhancing iris data collection capabilities at local agencies across Florida, utilizing devices that are fully compatible with existing Idemia Livescan systems. The contract is valued at approximately $58,000, with the overall contract size ranging between $500,000 and $1,500,000. The decision to proceed with a single source is justified by the unique compatibility of Idemia’s iris capture devices with FDLE’s current infrastructure and the lack of authorized resellers, ensuring seamless integration and operational efficiency. This procurement is not a solicitation for services or commodities but serves as a public notice of the agency’s decision under applicable Florida statutes and administrative rules. The notice provides details for protests and emphasizes compliance with relevant legal provisions, including Florida Administrative Code Rule 60A-1.045 and Florida Statutes section 287.057(3). The contract underscores FDLE’s focus on leveraging specialized technology to improve biometric data collection processes, supporting law enforcement and public safety initiatives across the state.
