Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) Program

The City of San Diego Police Department is conducting a market‑research Request for Information to identify vendors capable of delivering a comprehensive, city‑wide Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) program. The solicitation seeks detailed information on hardware, software, user interfaces, installation, training, maintenance, cybersecurity, auditing tools, and warranty options, as well as pricing structures for future budgeting. Responses are to be submitted electronically (or via sealed paper) by the stated deadline, with a signed signature page and acknowledgment of any addenda. No contract will be awarded from this RFI; however, the information will shape a future competitive procurement. • Provide a full‑stack ALPR solution (cameras, processors, software, real‑time alerting, investigative tools). • Must comply with California SB 34 and the San Diego TRUST Ordinance, and meet city‑wide coverage (~372 sq mi, ~1.4 M residents). • Vendors must detail installation, training, ongoing maintenance, cybersecurity standards, auditing capabilities, and warranty; also supply a pricing model (hardware, software licensing, services). • Submissions are due June 15, 2026 2:00 PM via PlanetBids; questions due May 22, 2026 12:00 PM.
