Automatic License Plate Recognition Services and Platform

A California agency seeks a vendor to provide a scalable, high-performance automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) services and platform solution. The new system will replace the current implementation, aiming to increase automation beyond the present 80% rate and maintain high speed, accuracy, and availability while reliably processing approximately 47 million annual image-based toll transactions.

Core requirements include automated license plate detection, jurisdiction identification with configurable confidence scoring, support for diverse image formats, and advanced vehicle-signature technology. The solution must allow secure integration with existing systems, flexible deployment options (on-premises, cloud-based, or hybrid), and role-based dashboard access. Compliance with robust reporting, analytics, data-retention policies, and a minimum of 80% correct plate reads (with 99.5% accuracy on high-quality images) is required.

Post-implementation, the vendor must provide full operational support including 24/7 monitoring, regular software updates, performance optimization, quarterly system health reviews, and support with audits and security assessments. The contract will last two years, with questions from bidders due by July 1, 2026.
