NOFO#3242-0526 NCHIP Live Scan Equipment

The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) is offering funding opportunities to support live scan fingerprinting equipment grants for Illinois justice system agencies. The agencies eligible for this funding include local law enforcement agencies, state law enforcement agencies, courts, the Illinois Department of Corrections, and other correctional agencies in Illinois. The goal of this funding is to improve the timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of criminal history records submitted by agencies. The live scan equipment will capture an individual's fingerprint images and demographic data in a digitized format, which will be transmitted to the Illinois State Police (ISP) for processing. • The funding available for this opportunity is $1,699,455. • The award ceiling is $75,000, and the award floor is $10,000. • Applicants must obtain three written quotes from live scan vendors and provide accurate budget projections. • Agencies selected for funding will be required to submit quotes before the execution of the grant agreement. • The funding will support the purchase of live scan devices, associated installation, training, customer support, warranty, subscription, customized reporting, and/or maintenance costs. • The project aims to address core reporting infrastructure gaps by providing live scan technology to agencies that still use paper-based processes or obsolete live scan hardware and software.
