DESCRIPTION


A government authority in Knoxville, Tennessee, seeks a vendor to provide automated event check-in and badge printing services under a one-year contract. The solution must include intuitive self-service check-in software that enables registrants to check in and print badges, while synchronizing in real time with the client’s registration system.

The system should update registrant status as attendees check in and print badges, and provide an open API or proven integration capability for real-time exchange of new registrations and registration changes. It must support up to 1,500 attendees with minimal wait times, targeting less than one minute per attendee. The vendor must provide sufficient badges for registered attendees, walk-ins, and reprints, along with customizable full-color badges.

The solution should support a touchscreen or standard display with keyboard, an integrated or paired high-speed event-grade badge printer capable of producing a badge in five seconds or less when possible, and a QR or barcode scanner for attendee lookup. Questions must be submitted by September 22, 2026, and proposals are due October 1, 2026.
