ITEM SUMMARY SHEET
COMMITTEE REPORT TO BOARD
Resolution #2026-6504
Motion to approve the contract exception submitted pursuant to Section 2400.6 of the Oakland
County Purchasing Policy and authorize the extension of the existing contract, including a contract
with IdentiSys Inc. for the Clerk/Register of Deeds – County Clerk Division through March 16, 2027
for Concealed Pistol License (CPL) card printers, maintenance, and consumables.
ITEM CATEGORY SPONSORED BY
Exception to Purchasing Policy Gwen Markham
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
For the Vital Records Division of the Clerk/Register of Deeds department, IdentiSys Inc. supplies the
printers, maintenance and consumables that create Concealed Pistol License (CPL) cards. The
contract expired 3/16/26 but has over one year of maintenance services remaining for the printers
included in the contract. It would be better use of county resources to issue a full request for
proposals for these services after the maintenance warranty expires in May 2027.
IdentiSys is the only vendor of custom CPL foil card stock approved by the Michigan State Police
and includes. Accordingly, IdentiSys also has a contract with the Michigan Association of County
Clerks to provide the unique card stock to all the County Clerk offices. Additionally, IdentiSys is the
only entity authorized to sell and service the CPL card printers (Entrust Sigma ID3 printers, CD880
printers) and provide the corresponding supplies.
FISCAL IMPACT: No Budget Amendment Needed

Comments
Thank you for the opportunity to do business with you.
This is an option to upgrade to 3 new printers with fresh 3yr FullCare coverage.
The Primacy2 SE is a proven platform, and the SE version was just recently released, so it will be
supported for quite some time.
Financially it makes sense to make this change:
Ribbon Cost
Ribbon pricing now on these new printers is down to 25 cents per card, compared to 37 cents per card on
your current printer. You'll save $5,328 on the 1st year supplies on an annual volume of 44,800
cards.
FullCare/Maintenance Costs
This also gives you three more years of FullCare Onsite Warranty and Preventative Maintenance
coverage, until 2027.
As it stands now, you are FullCare covered until April 1st, 2024. Annual FullCare renewals at that point
are estimated to be $750 until April 2025, and $775 until April 2026, and $800 until 2027. This is on a per
printer basis. You'll save around $4,500 on maintenance through April 2027 by making this change.
Brand New Hardware, Zero Card Counts
You'd have 3 brand new printers with zero miles on the odometers!

There are multiple reasons for the exception. The contract that recently expired still had one year
left of maintenance for our three printers, the date in the email states the expiration is 5/12/27 (see
email with attached sales invoice). It would be better use of resources to bid these services after the
maintenance warranty expires. Additionally, I have been made aware in the past that Identisys is the
only Michigan State Police approved vendor for the card stock. I have been unable to locate the
documentation that reflects the sole-source, but have asked the State Police to forward to me when
they can. Identisys also has a contract with the Michigan Association of County Clerk's to provide
the card-stock to the County Clerk offices (see attached). On top of this, Identisys has provided a
Letter of Confirmation from Entrust (attached) that states,
"IdentiSys, along with its LINSTAR, CAPTURE TECHNOLOGIES, and GEBCO divisions, is the only
partner authorized to sell and service Entrust Sigma ID3 printers, CD880 printers, and
corresponding supplies pursuant to the terms of its Reseller agreement with Entrust"
