Description
The State of California, via its Department of General Services, is seeking a qualified firm to provide a three‑year electronic verification service for the Department of Public Health’s vital‑records program. The contractor must operate a 24/7 applicant‑facing portal, perform NIST IAL‑2 compliant identity verification (MRIPP), securely transmit verified data to CDPH, and remit statutory certificate fees, all without subcontracting the core verification work. The award will be based on the lowest responsive, responsible bid after applying socioeconomic preferences; no funding is paid to the contractor, but revenue is generated from statutory fees per certificate processed.
• Provide a secure, continuously‑operating web portal for birth, death, and marriage record requests.
• Perform multilayered remote identity proofing (IAL‑2) and offer an alternate verification method if electronic verification fails.
• Transmit encrypted data to CDPH via SFTP, remit certificate fees ($19‑$31 per copy), and comply with extensive privacy, security, and reporting requirements.
