From the meeting
The Sheriff asked the board to authorize a competitive solicitation for an Automated Biometric Identification System. The item also established $5,000,000 in appropriations for purchase and implementation from the Sheriff Fingerprint ID Trust Fund balance. The board votes on October 27, 2026 whether to start the procurement and later award a five-year contract with options.
This is an active system-buying signal for vendors with biometric capture, matching, and integration capability.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks San Diego County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
