L-1 Identity Solutions to Provide Live Scan Multi-Biometric Capture Solutions for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
Contract Valued at $9.9 Million
L-1 Identity Solutions, a leading provider of identity solutions and services, today announced a contract valued at $9.9 million over three years for advanced live scan biometric capture systems to be used as part of the USCIS immigrant citizenship application process. The terms include a one-year base contract of $6.6 million with two consecutive one-year options of approximately $1.6 million for additional solutions and services that bring the total contract value to $9.9 million over three years. The systems included in the base contract will be fully deployed by the end of the first half of 2010 within all of the 134 U.S. Customs and Immigration Service Application Support Centers (ASCs) located throughout the U.S. and U.S. territories of Saipan, Guam, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
The procurement is being conducted under the Department of Homeland Security "First Source" IDIQ. L-1 was the original technology provider on this program and an incumbent on the new contract. NCS Technologies, Inc. is the prime and acting as program manager.
The new live scan systems from L-1 will provide advanced systems using enhanced technology that increases the productivity of digital capture and electronic submission of fingerprint images to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and US-VISIT. The fingerprints are used to conduct criminal background checks prior to USCIS making a determination whether to grant immigration benefits to applicants. The new L-1 live scans leverage a user friendly Windows-based interface and capture both roll and slap prints. The systems will be available in three configurations: kiosk, desktop and portable units. The systems will be supported by a 24 hour call center and nationwide field service organization that is wholly owned and operated by L-1 as part of the Company's existing customer support infrastructure.
"Our technology is flexible, scalable and easily deployed in any customer environment as a state-of-the-art system for solving identity-related challenges, of particular importance today given national security concerns," said Robert V. LaPenta, Chairman, President and CEO of L-1 Identity Solutions. "Furthermore, our field service and support organization is second to none, and the dedication and skill the team brings helps ensure that we can stand up these sophisticated systems quickly and provide optimal value to our customers in support of current and future program requirements."
