Use of a Cooperative Contract for the Purchase of an Additional 20 Handheld Mobile Fingerprint Recognition Identification Devices for the Mesa Police Department (Sole Source) (Citywide)
The Police Department has 122 MorpholDent devices in use that give personnel the ability to confirm identity via a two-fingerprint scan. These units enable real-time identity verification based on MorphoTrak's fingerprint recognition technology, which acts as the State's identification system (AZAFIS) at the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Identification in the field improves officer safety and allows cite and releases to be completed in the field, instead of needing to transport to the Holding Facility.
The Police Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the State of Arizona cooperative contract with the sole source vendor, IDEMIA, at $38,500, based on estimated requirements. This purchase is funded by Capital - General Fund.
