Description
The NYC Department of Correction is seeking information on a modern Visitor Fingerprint Identification System (VFIS) to replace its legacy central visits fingerprint platform. The solution must capture, store, and match visitor biometric data, integrate with the existing Visitor Express web application, and scale from the current Rikers Island facility to four new borough jails, supporting up to five facilities total. Vendors must address hardware specifications, remote pre‑enrollment, database platform preferences (IBM DB2 preferred), security and compliance (NYC Cyber Command, CJIS readiness), migration of ~331,000 existing fingerprint records, and provide a five‑year total cost of ownership. The anticipated in‑service date is March 1 2028, with a contract term ending December 31 2029.
• Replace legacy AFIS with a scalable, secure biometric system supporting 1‑to‑N fingerprint matching.
• Provide integration with Visitor Express and a central DB2 (or equivalent) database, with clear data‑ownership and migration plan.
• Meet NYC cybersecurity requirements, include optional CJIS compliance, and support remote pre‑enrollment capabilities.
• Supply per‑workstation pricing for reuse of existing PCs or new workstation bundles (four per facility).
• Deliver a five‑year TCO estimate covering implementation, hardware, licensing, support, and training.
