- 1. BACKGROUND/PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Office of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the Department of State's, Bureau of Diplomatic Security provides Diplomatic Security with the technology and capabilities to carry out its global mission. CTO's mission is to provide Diplomatic Security (DS) with state-of-the-art technology and other IT services in support of DS's global law enforcement and security mission. CTO supports this mission by developing and deploying solutions that assists DS in providing a safe and secure environment for the conduct of U.S. foreign policy, conduct investigations, provide assistance to U.S. and foreign law enforcement agencies, to help secure U.S. borders and protect the national security of the United States. In support of this mission, CTO is seeking information on the current and near-term availability of a data collection device on a mobile electronic platform, capable of obtaining biometric and biographic information and communicating wirelessly through a virtual private network (VPN). The device(s) of interest should weigh 3 pounds or less, be tough, rugged, and durable enough to function reliably in the various outdoor environmental conditions that DS end users face, and be efficient and easy to use for the collection of biometric and biographic information in the field. The device may be fully integrated, or comprised of compatible component parts (i.e. COTS device [platform] with rugged sleeve and integrated sensor(s) [accessory]). 2. PROBLEM STATEMENT/REQUIREMENTS DS is seeking responses to this RFI to determine the current capability(ies) and price point of the market, to provide solutions that will meet the needs of DS end users. These needs include the capability to capture biometric and biographic information from unknown persons and to achieve identification of known persons of interest while in the field. Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) associated with the mobile data collection device, in terms of Threshold (minimum) and Objective (preferred), is contained below in Table 1: Table 1. Smartphone / Tablet Device Description Threshold Objective Proposed Solution Biometric Data Collection (image sensor capabilities) Flat fingerprints (FAP 45) Facial image (SAP 32) Iris image (SAP 30)FAP 50 or above SAP 42 or above Durability / RuggednessIngress Protection Rating: IP65 Must survive multiple drops at 36 inchesDrop resistant (e.g. designed toward MIL-STD-810G "drop spec to 48").
