The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners is considering a recommendation to accept federal funding assistance. This funding is for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) through the U.S. Department of Justice National Criminal History Improvement Program Grant. The grant will be used to acquire new iris scanner hardware and software equipment. This item is currently under review by the Board. The project involves the procurement and installation of specialized technology.

Businesses specializing in technology supply, installation, and related support services may find opportunities. Early engagement before final procurement and installation plans are set could be advantageous.
