DPS Digital Evidence Management System RFI

The Iowa Department of Management, on behalf of the Iowa Department of Public Safety, is seeking market input on Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS) platforms and implementation approaches. The agency wants a cloud‑based, agency‑wide solution that can ingest, store, manage, share, retain, and provide immutable audit trails for digital evidence, while meeting CJIS, NIST, and CSAM handling requirements. Respondents must describe functional capabilities, security compliance, pricing models, and implementation plans. • Centralized evidence intake, storage, and chain‑of‑custody controls for hundreds of terabytes to petabyte‑scale data. • Required compliance with FBI CJIS, NIST SP 800‑53, FedRAMP/StateRAMP, and strict CSAM handling statutes. • Preference for a fully managed SaaS model with bundled storage, but alternative delivery models also accepted. • Submission of detailed pricing, scalability, integration, and accessibility information by the November 19, 2026 deadline.
