Biometrics4ALL Successfully Delivered the First 60 LiveScan Systems Under a 3 Year Blanket Purchase Order Contract with Los Angeles County, California.
September 15, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Biometrics4all successfully delivered the first 60 LiveScan systems. These initial units were delivered to the LA County Sheriff’s Department, the Department for Children’s and Family Services, and the Internal Services Division. Since the successful implementation, several cities have followed the County’s lead and purchased Biometrics4ALL LiveScan equipment. LA County’s Purchasing and Contracting Division awarded this contract to Biometrics4ALL after careful evaluation of all of the major vendor’s products. The process was comprised of a written technical response and hands-on testing by an evaluation committee including the LA County Sheriff’s Department. A majority of LiveScan and Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) vendors participated in this bid (e.g., Identix, Cross Match, and Cogent Systems).
Biometrics4ALL offered the most economical solution meeting all of the mandatory requirements and offered an upgrade path to the new FBI applicant Flat ID standard. LA County Sheriff’s Department Lieutenant Larry Bryant said: “We look forward to using the Biometrics4ALL LiveScans. The new software significantly simplifies the processing of applicants. Biometrics4ALL not only delivered the most cost effective solutions, they have also proven to be extremely responsive to our expanding and changing needs.”
Edward Chen, Biometrics4ALL Managing Director said: “We are exited to have the opportunity to serve such a marquis account as LA County. Supplying LiveScan solutions to the most populous county in the United States is evidence of our dedication to customer service and product superiority. Shipping over 60 LiveScan systems, most of which were delivered within 4 weeks from receipt of order, proves that Biometrics4ALL can quickly and reliably deliver high quality products tailored to its customers’ needs.”
In recent years stringent background checks have become mandated for such occupations as teachers, volunteers, hazardous material drivers, emergency services personnel, etc… Furthermore, in response to 9/11, Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD -12) imposes strict standards for Personal Identification Verification (PIV), requiring every government employee and contractor to submit their fingerprints for a background check. Since the LiveScans acquired under the LA County contract are used for background check submissions to the FBI and Cal-DOJ, Biometrics4ALL has positioned itself as a leading solutions provider in the background check market.
