DHS Office of Procurement Operations intends to establish government-wide, multiple-award IDIQ contracts for biometric capture devices and peripheral equipment, with Firm Fixed-Price orders under a one-year base period plus four one-year option periods. The procurement is full and open across five device tracks—Fingerprint, Facial, Iris, Palmprint, and Multi-Modal—with an anticipated minimum of three and no maximum number of IDIQ awards per track. Awards will use a Highest Technically Rated with Fair and Reasonable Price basis, without price/non-price tradeoffs; offerors may propose for one or more tracks, submitting a separate proposal per track and possibly multiple devices within a track, each evaluated separately. Recent amendments provide Government Q&A responses and revise RFP instructions, evaluation factors, and minimum essential requirements for facial and palmprint devices. Awards are planned for this fiscal year, and DHS plans an on-ramp in FY27.

DHS’s Office of Procurement Operations is issuing an RFP to establish government-wide, multiple-award IDIQ contracts for biometric capture devices and peripheral equipment, permitting Firm Fixed-Price orders. The solicitation uses full and open competition across five device tracks—Fingerprint, Facial, Iris, Palmprint, and Multi-Modal—with a minimum of three and no maximum number of IDIQ awards anticipated per track. Awards will use a Highest Technically Rated with Fair and Reasonable Price basis, evaluating availability of devices, supporting documentation, technical approach, and price, with no price/non-price tradeoffs; offerors may submit separate proposals for one or more tracks and may include multiple devices within a track. The period of performance will be a one-year base period plus four one-year option periods, with actual dates established at contract award. DHS expects Q&A responses and an amended solicitation on or about September 21, 2026, plans awards this fiscal year, and anticipates future on-ramping opportunities.
