On July 29, Leidos announced that it was awarded a $128 million task order by the FBI to provide agile software development and modernization for the Next Generation Identification (NGI) system, the bureau’s biometric and criminal history repository.
NGI’s repository of biometric and criminal history information enables more advanced investigative capabilities for the FBI and other law enforcement and intelligence agencies. The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) division administers NGI, the world’s largest electronic repository of biometric and criminal history information. Leidos has worked with the FBI to improve the system’s accuracy to more than 99.6 percent for fingerprint identification.
Leidos will provide more capabilities through this program. Those include mobile apps, biometric algorithms, automated testing, and the integration of other emerging technologies.
“Leidos has long partnered with the FBI to deliver mission-critical biometric systems, including NGI—the largest, most efficient electronic repository of biometric and criminal history data,” said Roy Stevens, Leidos National Security Sector president. “Leidos’ work with the FBI to improve the system’s accuracy facilitates many more criminal identifications, helping to keep America safe.”
The task order covers a one-year base period of performance, with four option years.
