Fingerprint Collection and Submission Services

The State of Iowa is seeking competitive bids to provide fingerprint collection and submission services for all state agencies and eligible political subdivisions. The vendor must capture fingerprints (including rolled, flat, palm, and signature images), verify applicant IDs, and securely transmit the data to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and onward to the FBI’s CJIS system, adhering to FBI CJIS security policy and NIST/EBTS standards. The contract will be awarded for an initial three‑year term with up to three one‑year renewal options, and the vendor will retain “rolling fees” above the baseline $26 standard and $13 volunteer fees per applicant. • Provide electronic fingerprint capture (500‑1000 ppi) and submit data within 24 hours of capture. • Operate multiple service locations across Iowa, offering appointments within 10 days of request and maintaining a ≤0.5 % overall rejection rate. • Manage fee collection, monthly reporting, and a 1 % administrative fee on quarterly sales, with data retention for six months.
