3D Imaging and Analysis System

The Vendor is required to provide to procure a 3D imaging and analysis system for firearm and tool mark forensic examinations.
- The system will be used for the acquisition, visualization, comparison, and database searching of three-dimensional topography of fired cartridge cases, bullets, bullet fragments, and other tool marks in support of casework, investigative leads, and laboratory validation requirements.
- solution must include both a high-capacity benchtop scanning system and a portable 3D scanning system, along with associated software, hardware, training, and maintenance/support.
- Provide a complete, turnkey 3D firearm and toolmark imaging solution that includes:
•    Desktop (benchtop) 3D scanning system
•    Portable 3D scanning system
•    3D imaging, database, and analysis software
•    Computer workstations required to operate the systems
•    Training for examiners
•    Delivery and installation
•    Three years of maintenance, software updates/licenses, and technical support
•    Generates quantitative similarity or match scores to assist examiners.
•    Supports use by multiple authorized users.
•    Allow remote viewing access from examiner workstations on the same network as the scanning system.
•    Allows annotation, measurement, and export of images and data.
- The system must be suitable for routine forensic casework and capable of integration into an accredited forensic laboratory environment.

o    Scanning damaged bullets, bullet fragments, and irregular toolmarks
•    Ruggedized carrying case and portable workstation:
o    Ruggedized transport case suitable for field deployment.
o    Laptop workstation capable of storing at least 8,000 cartridge case scans
- The system shall be capable of scanning, at a minimum:
•    Fired cartridge cases
•    Fired bullets
•    Bullet fragments
•    Damaged or deformed projectiles
•    Other forensic toolmarks relevant to firearm examinations
