Echipament de prelevare a datelor biometrice

The economic operator will respect reasonable deadlines for the clarifications and bid submission.

It should be noted that the biometric data collection process as it is described by the Contracting Authority in the Annex to the procurement notice - is assisted and carried out within the multifunctional centers, exclusively by the authorized officers of the Contracting Authority (not to be confused with the self-service kiosk used at the border crossing points). According to the internal regulations of the Agency - the collection of biometric data for the primary registration (enrollment) in the State Register of the Population regarding facial images and other biometric data, are taken from citizens who are positioned (sitting) on the chair, the set up requirements for - p. b) Face Image Capturing and Processing, Distance from 60 cm to 150 cm is to provide sufficient space for adjustments of the person positioning in case of variable sizes, heights and shapes in accordance with provisions of ISO/CEI 19794-5:2011. Thus, the distance range of 80cm – 100cm cannot be accepted by Contracting Authority due to insufficient distance.

The requirements for - p. c) User guidance "Colored light ring around the camera with effects(optional)”, clearly states that this one is optional, thus not mandatory and as consequences the Contracting authority will not evaluate the offered model as non compliant if the proposed model will not have this feature.

The parameter "Screen size" reflected in the tender documentation is specified by default as minimum value size = 7''(inch). Interested economic operators can propose equipment models with more advantageous parameter values compared to those minimum stated in documentation.

The Tender documentation has been updated accordingly and will be published on SIA RSAP (MTender) platform.

The proposed changes regarding the size parameter are accepted: Depth from "max. 500 mm" in "max. 600 mm", the tender documentation (annex to the procurement notice) has been updated accordingly. Dear economic operator, regarding the "requirement for the height shall be changed to min 1300mm and max 2300 Considering self-standing on the ground, weight shall be changed to max 85kg", it should be noted that the biometric data collection process as it is described by the Contracting Authority in the Annex to the procurement notice - is assisted and carried out within the multifunctional centers, exclusively by the authorized officers of the Contracting Authority (not to be confused with the self-service kiosk used at the border crossing points). According to the internal regulations of the Agency - the collection of biometric data for the primary registration (enrollment) in the State Register of the Population regarding facial images and other biometric data, are taken from citizens who are positioned (sitting) on the chair. Regarding the "Height adjustment" parameter with Height range: min. 350 mm, represents a minimum adjustment requirement with no maximum values or exact intervals established, as you propose "1300 - 2300 mm". Changing the weight values is not allowed. According to the tender documentation, the Agency needs a workstation for the operator and no self-service kiosk, which is absolutely inappropriate for the Agency's activity.

It should be noted that the procurement object clearly states that Agency need - The Integrated Operator Workstation for enrolment of the biometric data in the process of documenting citizens, the process that is assisted and performed within the multifunctional centers by the Contracting Authority officers (not to be confused with the self-service kiosk used at the Border crossing posts). Thus, the requirements for connectivity through the interfaces for external devices derives from the necessity to connect: 1) via HDMI - minimum 1 monitor, 2) via USB - 1 wired keyboard + 1 wired mouse + 1 printer. The specified requirements are minimum and mandatory.

Dear economic operator, regarding the desktop requirement, it should be noted that the biometric data collection process as it is described by the Contracting Authority and in the Annex to the procurement notice - is assisted and carried out within the multifunctional centers, exclusively by the authorized officers of the Contracting Authority (not to be confused with the self-service kiosk used at the border crossing points). According to the internal regulations of the Agency - the collection of biometric data for the primary registration (enrollment) in the State Register of the Population regarding facial images and other biometric data, are taken from citizens who are positioned (sitting) on the chair. According to the tender documentation, the Agency needs a workstation for the operator and no self-standing/service kiosk, which is absolutely inappropriate for the Agency's activity.

The Tender documentation has been updated accordingly and will be published on SIA RSAP (MTender) platform.

Backlight technical specifications for the integrated operator workstation derive from the provisions of Annexes B and C of ISO/IEC 19794-5:2011 "Information technologies - Formats of exchange of biometric data - Part 5: Face image data "To prevent hot spots, reflections and shadows”, in accordance with ICAO recommendations (Doc 9303). The requirements specified by the Contracting Authority in the Annex to procurement notice are minimum and mandatory.
