2026-11-03

The objective of ALDOR in soliciting and reviewing responses to this ITB is to select a Supplier to provide data entry services for certain ALDOR tax returns . A . Key from Image - ALDOR processes scanned paper tax returns ( typed and handwritten ) in - house using web - based third - party software . The returns populate from TIF and JPG images . Most of the volume is machine print . Within the process , different tax return types that need to be keyed are routed to various data entry queues based on workflow rules . ALDOR data entry personnel currently key tax return data from various queues in this system . There are certain tax return types that require more effort to key than others . The Supplier will be required to key ALDOR designated tax returns from image using this web - based third - party application . The Supplier needs a reliable and secure internet connection , but no telecommunication line is required . Each page presented for keying represents a single page of a return , and every field on each page that is required to be keyed is presented for keying / review . There is no visible evidence that a field has been verified by the data entry operator . The data entry operator must press enter to move from one field to the next in keying . A field cannot be skipped without pressing enter . Nothing appears on the field to show the operator that they pressed enter other than the cursor moves to the next field . If an operator moves to another field any other way than pressing enter , they will be brought back to that field to key it before leaving the page . Work does not have to be assigned because the next return in the queue will present itself to the operator after a return is fully keyed . Once a return is presented to an operator , it is locked so no two users can key the same return . The data entry operators will key in a Force to Key mode where the application ’ s data entry fields are not mapped to the specific field located on the printed return . B . Data Entry Verification The web - based third - party software application only allows for a single pass for data entry . Verification through a second pass of data entry is not available . There are math blocks on specific lines of the tax returns that will aid the keyer in review of math block fields if calculations fail . Lookup files are used to validate primary SSN / FEIN fields . In the data entry queues assigned to the Supplier , each page will be keyed using the Force to Key ( FTK ) option ...
