DPS currently uses a biometrics identification solution to automate the processing, matching and storage of criminal and noncriminal fingerprint submissions.
The agency also uses the solution to send information to the DPS computerized criminal history database and to electronically forward submissions to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security to update national databases.
As for switching to a new solution, the RFI states that DPS is looking for a new tool that offers the following:
- Indelible audit logs that track all user activity in compliance with state and federal criminal justice information systems requirements
- Links to transactions that require human intervention for quality checks, such as errors in processing
- Transactional and statistical reports defined by DPS
- Secure transmission of images and data to and from other systems as directed by DPS
- Establish, allow and maintain secure connectivity between internal and external systems
- Continuously monitor the solution and alert administrators of any solution or program errors, failures or performance issues
- Provides solution users customized access based on their identified needs and role
More information about RFI # 202304110930 can be found online. The due date for vendors to submit information is June 29.
