The camera shall connect to a computer via a USB port. 2) The color and appearance of the image on the card should change depending on the viewing angle. 3) A holographic feature shall be applied to the card, rendering it more secure from making copies or altering of the card more difficult. 4) Software shall have a custom designable screen database and unlimited credential cards or badges. It shall be compatible to read and write to Microsoft Access, Structured Query Language (SQL) or Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) and capable to download the end users data to the identification system with a file provided by the end user. 5) Software shall be able to search and display individuals with their pictures and allow for editing of text data. It shall allow for new records to be added and existing records to be edited or deleted. Photos and signatures shall be captured and stored and credentials may be printed that were previously designed at a full credentials workstation. Printers shall be able to be added to allow printing of credential cards, dossiers or other information from the database. 6) Software shall be capable of printing to inkjet, laser or Microsoft Windows compatible printers. The software shall support Microsoft Windows based printers with current drivers. It shall allow for more than one page per record so that it is capable of expansion in the future. 7) Software shall be network adaptable, as a system and/or to credential stations for growth in the future including manufacture's support during this process. 8) The vendor shall install any updates to the software system or provide a CD-ROM with instructions under an extended service agreement. In addition, upgrades or integration of existing systems, the vendor must be able to maintain compatibility with existing equipment and/or be able to integrate with existing systems. 9) The system shall be compatible with printing barcodes on the credential card from any combination of fields, constants and field separators. Barcodes will be infrared compatible if the printer selected has the ability to provide carbon black printing. The software shall have an automatic User Log and Card history options to track usage and reasons for card re-print. 10) The software security shall allow for unlimited User Names and passwords allowing for the adjustment of user rights and capabilities. 11) A Manufacturer's Warranty must be included for at least one year with the ability to extend software warranty directly from the manufacturer of the software. 12) The vendor shall design and write the identification software, be able to make available card stock and other consumables supplies for purchase directly, and shall have extensive experience in the digital imaging photo identification business. Interested parties possessing these required capabilities should submit a cover letter, along with their capability statement, demonstrating the ability to perform all aspects of this requirement. Responses must include: the contractor's name and business address; the name, phone number and e-mail address of a point of contact; the contractor's Tax Identification Number and DUNS number (so the Government can verify that the firm is registered in the CCR); a list of previous contracts for similar type requirements; and any company literature or brochures that may be relevant.

However, all capability statement or proposals received within 10 days after the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. If any vendors think they may meet these qualifications, please send capability statements to Christian Hellie via e-mail at Christian.Hellie@ntsb.gov by the closing date of this announcement.
