Where does it say they provide facial recognition software? I looked through the attached "Limited Sources Justification" PDF and the three areas they claim to be using Adobe software for are "Digital Media" (this is Acrobat and Reader), "Digital Marketing" (Creative Suite) and "Digital Meetings".

Maybe this is the wrong contract??

Agree -- I scanned this myself, looking for the 'Facial Recognition' mentions. Broadly this seems a justification to purchase Adobe by brand (rather than competitive tendering) for Digital Media, Digital Marketing, and Digital Meeting functionalities.

Pretty hi-tech stuff, but from what I could gather "Digital Media" means using Acrobat/ Reader for forms.

Much as I dislike Adobe, there doesn't seem much going on here.

The only thing I can come up with is there is a part that says something like “user-facing, business-facing” which seems like what may have been confused? The LSG only talks about using well known adobe products.

They put money-recognition into Photoshop in the past -

So perhaps they are putting facial-recognition in too?

If this is wrong why is this not still taken out ?
