STORM-LPX Latent Print Examiner

The Orlando Police Department is proceeding with a sole source procurement for the STORM-LPX Latent Print Examiner software from IDEMIA under solicitation number S26-0431, with a proposal submission deadline of May 12, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. This acquisition is justified under FAR 6.302-1 because IDEMIA is the exclusive developer and provider of the STORM-LPX system, a cloud-hosted solution critical to the agency’s existing forensic infrastructure, with no alternative vendors capable of delivering comparable functionality or seamless integration. The notice is active for seven calendar days from the posting date of May 6, 2026, during which other suppliers may submit proof of equivalent capabilities via email to Procurement Agent Lindsey Hladik, though no formal competitive evaluation process is anticipated. Performance will be fully electronic, with delivery and operation occurring remotely at the Orlando Police Department’s Crime Center in Orlando, Florida, eliminating the need for physical delivery, packaging, or FOB terms. The contract is not subject to pricing details or line item costing in the current documentation, nor are specific clause requirements, evaluation factors, inspection criteria, or representation certifications provided. All requirements center on the unique proprietary nature of the software, ensuring continuity of forensic operations and compatibility with legacy IDEMIA platforms, with no additional special contractual provisions such as security clearances, key personnel requirements, or options addressed. Submissions must be sent exclusively by email and no other channels are accepted.
