DESCRIPTION
The procuring agency seeks a vendor to provide a cloud-based background investigation management system for public safety hiring. The solution should digitize forms, automate workflows, centralize applicant records, and replace manual processes involving paper packets, email exchanges, spreadsheets, and locally stored documents.
The system should support secure communications with candidates and references through email and SMS notifications, secure links, or portals.

The solution should integrate with or exchange data with third-party services such as criminal history checks, credit reporting, and open-source intelligence providers. It must also offer configurable reporting and analytics for oversight, compliance, and process improvement. Required investigation activities include criminal history checks, driving record verification, employment history verification, education and credential verification, and personal and professional reference checks with structured questionnaires and documented outcomes. The contract period will be one year, and all questions must be submitted by September 10, 2026.
