AI Contract Overview
The Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation is soliciting quotes under solicitation number SRC0000037795 for providers to deliver out-of-state electronic fingerprinting services. These services will support employment screening, investigative operations, and statutory compliance, with results processed through the National Webcheck program. The contract term is scheduled to run through June 30, 2027, with a potential renewal option extending to June 30, 2029. Selected providers must comply with FBI CJIS and FCRA requirements, utilize FTPS transmission, and ensure all technical specifications are met through a mandatory certification and testing process. Interested vendors must submit responses online via the Ohio Buys Supplier Portal. Quotes must include a comprehensive fee structure charged to applicants, covering all material and labor costs. While current National WebCheck certification is not a prerequisite for bidding, any awarded non-certified supplier must obtain certification before submitting background checks. The Bureau prefers that results be sent directly to the requesting Ohio agency. Historical data indicates significant demand from the healthcare and childcare sectors, and the agency anticipates potential volume increases due to streamlined licensure reciprocity for out-of-state applicants.

As of the date of this RFQ, there are currently three (3). Can the AGO confirm that responses must incorporate one of the current certified vendors as listed at https://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Business/Services-for-Business/WebCheck/WebCheck-Equipment-Vendors to be considered compliant for the submission of electronic fingerprints? | Answer: Non‑certified suppliers may submit responses to this solicitation. However, if a non‑certified supplier is selected for award, the selection will be contingent upon the supplier becoming a certified National WebCheck Agency. A supplier’s lack of current certification may adversely affect the evaluation and scoring of its proposal. Certification obtained in response to this solicitation does not, by itself, authorize a supplier to sell WebCheck equipment or services within the State of Ohio. If a non‑certified WebCheck supplier is selected, the selection must include a condition requiring the supplier to obtain National WebCheck Agency certification before submitting any background checks for out‑of‑state individuals. Certification is a mandatory prerequisite for participation in this program. To prevent the possibility of an uncertified Ohio‑based supplier performing services without appropriate certification, the AGO may also include a second condition stating that the supplier will not be permitted to sell WebCheck equipment within Ohio unless and until it becomes a certified National WebCheck Agency. | Answered: 3/23/2026
