License Plate Reader Software

The Federal Protective Service (FPS) is seeking information regarding software packages which integrates with existing CCV systems to read license plates. No hardware is required and the software shall not degrade recording capabilities or images. The software can be closed or have outward communications to check access lists, NCIC etc. against license plates. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to get a better understanding of the commercial marketplace in relation to this type of software for market research purposes. The Government may request to meet with RFI respondents to demonstrate their software. Any demonstrations conducted will be in the Washington DC area. This is a Request for Information only. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP)/Request for Quotation (RFQ) or a promise to issue an RFP/RFQ in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply of service whatsoever. Further, FPS is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI or subsequent software demonstration. All costs associated with responding to the RFI or any subsequent software demonstration will be solely at the interested party's expense.
