Mobile and Office-Based Live Scan Fingerprinting Stations Deployment

The contract calls for the supply, configuration, and deployment of mobile and fixed Live Scan biometric fingerprinting stations designed for use by child welfare agencies under the Administration for Children and Families. These systems must be fully integrated with both FBI and state-level background check databases to enable seamless, real-time submission and retrieval of fingerprint-based criminal history records. The solution must support secure, compliant, and efficient biometric data collection in both office and field environments, ensuring that child safety screenings meet federal and state regulatory standards without compromising accuracy or speed. All equipment and software must be configured to align with current federal identity verification protocols and remain compatible with existing agency infrastructure. The contractor is responsible for end-to-end implementation, including installation, testing, training, and ongoing technical support to ensure uninterrupted operation across all client locations. The project falls under NAICS code 334510, indicating it involves the manufacturing of electronic messaging and other computer equipment, suggesting the selected vendor must have proven experience in producing and integrating biometric hardware and software systems. While the solicitation is classified as a subcontract, the successful bidder will play a critical role in supporting federal child welfare operations by enabling timely and reliable background checks for caregivers, foster parents, and staff. The opportunity is open for response through August 31, 2026, and performance will take place across jurisdictions where the Department of Health and Human Services operates child protection programs.
