RFI Criminal History Record Check Process Modernization

The State of Vermont is seeking information to modernize its criminal history record check process. The current process is manual and decentralized, and the state aims to adopt a more integrated and automated digital solution to reduce processing times, maintain compliance, and deliver a more streamlined experience for applicants, employers, and partner agencies. The state is looking for a solution that can provide a unified digital workflow from application to result, optimize current systems, and involve new integrations as necessary. The solution should also provide real-time tracking, clear audit trails, and identity verification, and should be scalable to allow new departments to be onboarded without major redevelopment. Some of the key features the state is looking for include: • A modernized end-to-end background check process • A unified digital workflow from application to result • Real-time tracking and clear audit trails • Identity verification and secure data handling • Scalability to allow new departments to be onboarded without major redevelopment • External interfaces for entities licensing or employing individuals requiring fingerprint-supported criminal history checks • External interfaces for law enforcement and other agencies capturing and submitting fingerprints to VCIC • Secure access to digital response documents for licensing and employing entities.
