The equipment must be proposed as an all inclusive kit. Optional items will not be considered. The equipment must be simple to use and operate, easy and inexpensive to maintain; it must be commercially available, have all appropriate federal certif ications. The proposed equipment must include a warranty, technical support, installation support and setup, and training. We are anticipating awarding a requirements type contract for Law Enforcement Case and Records Management Systems. The Government is interested in case and records management tools for automating crime data records. Specifically, we are interested in a complete system to maintain case file data, share data, and search historical files. Data elements may include, but not be limited to, names, addresses, property and evidence information, details regarding an investigation, and phone numbers. The proposed system must be all inclusive and include all the necessary software, hardware, tools and accessories. The proposed system must be an all inclusive kit and operational out of the box . The estimated number of units is 40 per year. However, actual units ordered will be determined by budge t constraints and approved request for the equipment under the CEDAP program. The evaluations will be accomplished in two parts: Part 1 is a go/no go proposal evaluation phase and Part 2 is the technology proposal/demonstration phase. Those vendors who pass part 1 evaluation phase will be invited to demonstrate in Part 2. Proposals not selected for Part 2 demonstrations are considered rejected and will not receive further consideration. Part 2 demonstrations will be at a place and time to be determined by the government. Currently, it is anticipated the demonstrations will be during the week of December 9 through December 15, 2007, in Orlando, Florida. However, the dates and location are subject to change. The vendors selected for Part 2, technology proposal/demonstration, will be notified by December 5, 2007 of the location, date, and time. As there may be several vendors selected for demonstration, the scheduled dates and times will not be adjusted to meet individual proposers requirements. Ven dors invited to demonstrate in Part 2 will be allowed to demonstrate their product, within a limited time constraint and in front of a panel of subject matter experts (SME). Vendors will have 15 minutes for set-up, 30 minutes for product demonstration, an d 10 minutes for take down; these time limits will be strictly enforced. The demonstrations will be video taped.
