Procurement Support
-
Biometrics Consulting Partners (BCP)’s staff have led procurement activities in both agency and biometric vendor settings. This experience enables a unique perspective which helps anticipate risks and clearly identify agency needs.
BCP applies this unique and rare expertise to help government agencies strategically develop system requirements and articulate them in ABIS, Live Scan, MobileID, Mugshot, Patrol, and Applicant Processing RFIs, RFQs, and RFPs.
ABIS
Procurements can be complicated. Do you sole source? Do you publish an RFP? What requirements go in the RFP? What should the contract terms look like?
BCP can help agencies excel at procurement by:
Achieve an Agency / Vendor Win : Win
By leveraging agency and biometric vendor experience to build requirements that are functional and cost effective
Reduce Change Orders
By building clear requirements and helping answer vendor questions resulting in less biometric vendor assumptions
Futureproof the System
By designing requirements that are leveraging the latest proven technologies and security practices, as well as anticipating and planning for commercial off the shelf end of life and end of support (e.g. Microsoft Software, IBM/HP/Dell Servers, etc.)
