Ohio Attorney General's Office - Bureau of Criminal Investigations
Description
This three‑year agreement provides the Division of Children and Family Services in Cuyahoga County with state‑funded fingerprinting services for foster/adoptive applicants, parents, relatives, and other adults required by Ohio law. The Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigations is the sole source for both state (BCI) and federal (FBI) fingerprint processing, eliminating the need for competitive bidding.

• Scope: Processing BCI and FBI fingerprint checks for various categories of individuals involved in child‑service licensing.
• Funding: 100 % state funding, $150k per year for 2021‑2023.
• Procurement: Sole‑source justification under County Code 501.12(D) citing lack of alternative providers and the need to avoid delays.
