Solicitation/Project#: 6100047435-SF Solicitation/Project Title: AFIS Replacement Project
Description: The Pennsylvania Department of General Services (DGS) invites interested Prime and Subcontractor suppliers to participate in an open forum discussion relative to the upcoming AFIS Replacement Project RFP 6100047435 procurement. Additional details can be found in the Notice of Forthcoming Procurement at:
http://www.emarketplace.state.pa.us/Procurement_Details.aspx?id=114279

The purpose of the project is to get an AFIS Fingerprint Management system replacement and consider other vendors through the RFP process rather than simply upgrading with the current vendor via a single source contract. The primary objectives are to replace non-supported components and software, cut maintenance costs and consider options involving cloud-based solutions in addition to in-house hardware purchases with their cost and support needs. The most immediate need is to find a replacement system that utilizes the latest operating systems, software and hardware that receives support across it's environment, and at a cost that is within the targeted budget for such a system.

Topics for discussion will include, but not be limited to, industry standards, vendor community insight, expertise and best practices.

The event will be held at 555 Walnut Street, Forum Place, Bureau of Procurement, 6th Floor, Conference Room 1, Harrisburg, PA  17101 on Tuesday, February 26, 2019 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern.

The first hour and a half of the supplier forum is reserved for Offerors interested in becoming potential prime contractors for this RFP. The second hour and a half of the supplier forum will be tailored for both potential prime and Small and Small Diverse Business subcontractors.  The second hour and a half will include a presentation on the Commonwealth’s Small and Small Diverse Business program, discussion relative to potential subcontracting opportunities for services and supplies and networking time for prospective prime and Small and Small Diverse Business subcontractors.

For further information or assistance with the Small and Small Diverse Business programs, please contact the Bureau of Diversity, Inclusion and Small Business Opportunities (BDISBO) at 717-783-3119.
