Request for Information (RFI) Fast Capture Fingerprint Systems and Enabling Technology

Request for Information (RFI) Fast Capture Fingerprint Systems and Enabling Technology. Submissions are due no later than 3:00 p.m. EDT on 14 SEP 2012. SPAWAR Systems Center Atlantic (SSC Atlantic), in support of the Department of Defense (DoD), Combatant Command (COCOM), Foreign Military Sales (FMS), Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Federal and Interagency Organizations, provides acquisition and quick-reaction capabilities and support to the designing, developing, fielding and sustaining of Future Biometrics, Forensics, and Identity Superiority solutions (material and non-material) and capabilities. SSC Atlantic is conducting market research, in support of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES), to identify Fast Capture Fingerprint Systems and Enabling Technology that will help shape an NIJ Strategic (Technology) Roadmap and Investment Plan for Fiscal Years 2013-2017. SSC Atlantic seeks information from Government, Industry and Academic organizations who are currently involved in advanced technology development, proof of concepts, rapid prototyping, system development, and the operational and system testing and evaluation of contact and contactless fast capture fingerprint devices, with a primary emphasis on 10 rolled-equivalent systems and technologies. Information collected from this market research study will serve a dual purpose. It will be shared with NIJ, NIST, and DOD stakeholders, and will directly assist these organizations in shaping the NIJ Fast Capture Strategic (Technology) Roadmap and Strategic Investment Plan. Additionally, it will also be shared with SSC Atlantic Biometrics Integrated Product Team leadership, who has expressed interest in extending invitations to responding organizations with game changing Fast Capture Fingerprint Systems and Enabling Technology to provide a capability briefing and technology demonstration during the 1st and 2nd Quarters, Fiscal Year 2013. SUBMITTALS Respondents are required to complete a white paper and quad chart for each fast capture fingerprint system or enabling technology following the instructions and formats provided in the attached Fast Capture Fingerprint RFI Instructions (Fast Capture Fingerprint - RFI Instructions.docx).
