This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number INL- 09-Guatemala AFIS is a Request for Proposal (RFP). The Government intends to award a firm, fixed price contract. The following Provisions and Clauses are incorporated into this RFQ by reference. No addenda apply to these Provisions and Clauses. FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items, FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representation and Certifications – Commercial Items, FAR 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions – Commercial Items, FAR 52-212-5, Contract Terms and conditions required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders-Commercial Items.

The following provides the specifications: GUATEMALA AUTOMATED FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AFIS) 1.Background In 1996, the Guatemalan National Civil Police, at that time the agency responsible for fingerprint records, procured an AFIS with a storage capability of 250,000 fingerprints. The system, which is currently still in operation, no longer meets the technical requirements to conduct effective criminal investigations in the country. It also has 57,000 card-printed fingerprint records collected over the last five years and filed under the Henry classification. These records need to be converted to the new system in order to populate the database. Criminal activity has expanded beyond the borders of the country and become a transnational issue; therefore, an integrated and inter-operational tool for biometric identification is required to enable the various law enforcement agencies within the justice system to contribute as effectively and efficiently as possible in the fight against organized crime and in the exchange of information with other countries in the region prior to assuming the responsibilities and challenges posed by the Merida Plan. Toward the proposed objectives, all Guatemalan Government (GOG) agencies involved in criminal investigation should be equipped with tools integrated into a database to achieve better results. 2.Overall objective To provide the GOG with an automated system for accurate biometric-based identification of people in order to strengthen criminal investigations. 2.1 Specific Objectives 2.1.1To integrate information from all GOG security agencies that require the identification of people, such as the Ministry of Government (through the National Civilian Police, the Prison System,), the Public Ministry, the Guatemala National Institute of Forensic Science (INACIF) and the Ministry of Defense (Office General of Weapons and Ammunitions Control – DIGECAM), by strengthening and updating the operation of biometric-based identification of people to contribute to the fight against crime. 2.1.2To have a nation-wide database of citizen and criminal information for the biometric-based identification of people. 2.1.3To provide the country with the technology required for the analysis of latent fingerprints collected at crime scenes and its subsequent identification through comparison against a national database. 2.1.4To provide, through the automated system for fingerprint identification, the tools required to identify the existing prison population and to validate the personal data provided by new admittances and re-admittances. 2.1.5To promote an international exchange of data to identify those involved in organized crime activities. 3.OVERALL SPECIFICATIONS 3.1Definition AFIS (automated fingerprint identification system) will serve as Guatemala’s national fingerprint identification repository, consisting of a database of prints scanned from ink-based cards as well as newly-scanned biometrics records. The system will compare latent prints taken from crime scenes against this database to allow for their subsequent identification. The automated system will integrate data from various agencies of the justice sector which will be able to input, consult and analyze the information contained in the database. 3.2Operational Specifications 3.2.1Each institution involved will play a specific role : 3.2.1.1Ministry of Government 3.2.1.1.1National Civilian Police •Implementation of the citizen and criminal database oCollect fingerprints and palm prints of people retained at the 24-hour Courts, as ordered by the Judge (approximately 77 persons per day) oEnter data into the police database (25,000 per year) oEnter data into the private security database (15,000 in a two-year period) oConsult information for the identification of people 3.2.1.1.2Prison System •Collect print data from prisoners currently within the system (actually 10,0000 persons with a 10,000-people annual increase) •Consult the database in order to identify visitors to prison centers. 3.2.1.2Guatemala National Institute of Forensic Science – INACIF: •Enter fingerprints collected from corpses (about 17 corpses per day) •Check and identify latent prints, finger and palm prints (10 daily cases), which are part of the criminal database •Contribute to the implementation of the criminal database •Prepare reports on the identification of people 3.2.1.3Public Ministry: •Consult the citizen and criminal databases in order to identify people 3.2.1.4Ministry of Defense: 3.2.1.4.1General Office of Weapons and Ammunitions Control (DIGECAM) •Contribute to the collection of fingerprints for the citizen database (250 daily persons) •Consult the citizen and criminal databases in order to identify people •Provide electronic reports to the pertinent agencies in case a match is found. 3.3Operational requirements •Capable of supporting the following record formats: Electronic Fingerprint Transmission System (EFTS) v7.1 INTERPOL implementation of the ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2007 v5.0.(INT-I v5.0) •Print-type search capability of latent prints, finger and palm prints with the following search parameters: Fingerprints / fingerprints Unsolved fingerprints/ latent prints Latent prints / fingerprints Latent prints / unsolved latent prints Palm print/ palm print Unsolved palm prints / latent palm prints Latent palm prints / palm prints Latent palm prints / unsolved latent palm prints AFIS searchable by biometric or biographic data •Database capacity: Two year projection for one million (1,000,000) finger print records, one hundred thousand (100,000) palm print records, and 50,000 (fifty thousand) latent prints with the capacity for further expansion in the future as dictated by Guatemalan needs. • DescriptionAmount Migration of fingerprints from the former AFIS to the new system250,000 Migration of latent prints from the former AFIS to the new system13,000 Conversion of fingerprint paper cards from the last five years to the system57,000 •System expected availability: 24 hours/day x 7 days /week x 52 weeks /year •System accuracy requirement: 99% •Latent accuracy requirement: 85% •Initial daily search capability: Fingerprints = 5280 records Latent prints = 100 searches Palm prints = 40 searches •Response time requirement: Fingerprints = 2 minutes per search Latent prints = 15 minutes per search Palm print = 15 minutes per search •Supports digital images attached to fingerprint records.
