Description
The State of California is seeking a qualified vendor to provide electronic identity‑verification services for applicants requesting vital‑record certificates (birth, death, marriage). The contractor will verify applicant identity, collect and remit statutory fees to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), and transmit verification results via secure data files. The contract is a “zero‑dollar” award; revenue is generated from the per‑certificate fees charged to applicants. The effort requires compliance with strict security and privacy standards (NIST 800‑53, CDPH Exhibit F), secure file transfer (SFTP, RSA‑4096 encryption), and ongoing reporting/audit obligations over a three‑year base period with two optional one‑year extensions.
