How to bid on Mobile Booking LiveScan System for LA County Sheriff
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is seeking information about a Mobile Booking LiveScan System (MBLS) Solution. They are looking for a proven, rugged, portable, all-in-one device for field law enforcement use. This system must include integrated biometric capture, a touchscreen display, and software, all within a tablet form factor. It should not be a multi-component kit that requires assembly in the field.
This is a Request for Information (RFI) only, not a solicitation for bids. The department is gathering information to understand available solutions in the market. Responding to an RFI can help your company establish a relationship with the agency and influence future procurement decisions.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This RFI was published on June 04, 2026. The deadline for submitting your response is August 06, 2026, at 6:00 PM ET. All responses must be submitted by this time.
Since this is an RFI, there is no contract award at the deadline. The agency will review all submitted information to inform their planning for a potential future solicitation.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for technology firms that specialize in biometric capture systems, ruggedized portable devices, and law enforcement technology solutions. Companies with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products that meet the description of an all-in-one mobile booking LiveScan system are particularly relevant.
The RFI is specifically looking for solutions that integrate biometric capture, a touchscreen, and software into a single tablet-form device without requiring field assembly.
