SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The issuing agency in Illinois is seeking a vendor to provide an identity verification system that integrates directly into the student application workflow. The solution is intended to support identity verification, residency-related document verification, and digital fraud assessment for new student applications. Verified results must feed directly into the agency’s existing admissions and enrollment systems.
The system is expected to automatically screen all incoming student applications and provide clear, actionable information throughout the review process. Required capabilities include fraud detection and risk scoring based on identity, behavioral, and operational signals, as well as detection of tampered, reused, or coordinated fraudulent documents. The agency also requires the ability to identify applicants using legitimately obtained personal data associated with identity theft. The volume is approximately 150,000 student applications per year.
For flagged applications, the agency requires a tiered identity verification workflow. This includes remote verification through government-issued photo ID upload and selfie biometric comparison, liveness detection to prevent spoofing, confidence scoring for biometric matches, escalation to staff review when remote verification is inconclusive, and direction for in-person verification at an admissions office when remote verification cannot be completed.
The contract term is three years. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for July 23, 2026, and questions must be submitted by July 27, 2026.
