The contract runs for five years, beginning July 1 2027, and requires strict adherence to CJIS, NIST 800‑53, and state cybersecurity standards, including SOC‑2 Type 2 audits, 24‑hour breach notifications, and quarterly vulnerability assessments. • Provide a modular SaaS or hybrid CJIX architecture (message switch, criminal‑history DB, mugshot/image‑lineup, admin tools) and integrate with VT DMV, NLETS, NCIC, VCCRIS, AFIS, and CAD/RMS systems. • Deliver migration from the existing VLETS platform, including data conversion, cut‑over planning, and de‑commissioning services (if Scope D is chosen). • Supply ongoing operations, maintenance, support, and annual security audits, meeting high‑availability and federal‑state compliance requirements. • Optionally, offer procurement and contract‑management consulting (Scope E) as a stand‑alone service. • All proposals must be submitted as a single searchable PDF ≤ 40 MB by June 26 2026 4:30 PM.
