From the meeting
The Sheriff asked the Board to authorize a competitive solicitation for an Automated Biometric Identification System. The agenda also set aside $5,000,000 for purchase and implementation, using prior-year Sheriff Fingerprint ID Trust Fund balance. The contract would be for five years with five one-year options and a possible six-month extension, so vendors should treat this as an open procurement now.
The vote was scheduled for October 27, 2026.

Questions about this project
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.
