The COLLECT system provides federal, state, and local agencies with the ability to research criminal records, perform background checks, and other research in support of conducting law enforcement operations in the State of Connecticut. Access to the COLLECT system for the ICE/ERO/Boston Field Office has been determined to be mission critical for the support of immigration enforcement actions.

OAQ and ERO have completed extensive research and used previous experience to try to identify other sources for the need. This notice of intent is NOT a request for proposals or quotes.
