Description

As the agency reported it.

Activities
The offeror's approach to supporting biometric standards in an administrative and technical capacity is based on proven methods by which they have supported these efforts through years of collaboration with NIST. Their work will include an immediate and seamless continuation of current biometric standards development efforts, provide experienced staff to perform this work with, and to expand upon the work that the offeror currently performs by maintaining a high level of quality and responsiveness. The offeror is committed to expanding existing activities to identify and support the administration and development of new standards projects and will provide technical and administrative support personnel to domestic and international biometric standards bodies including incits biometrics, ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC37, and ansi/NIST to perform duties and fill required roles in collaboration with ITL. The offeror will also perform additional administrative duties and fill the required roles for the duration of this grant at ITL discretion so that these standards bodies can meet the specific objectives of their programs of work.
Expected outcomes
The offeror's support to SC 37 will include appointment of the head of delegation (HOD) for international SC 37 meetings. The HOD will serve as chief spokesperson for the U.S. Delegation and is responsible for coordinating the activities of the U.S. Delegation. The HOD prepares the U.S. Positions for the international meeting and within four weeks after the international meeting, the HOD will prepare and submit a report to incits that will include the attendance and resolutions. In the event the U.S. Decides to host SC 37 plenary and/or SC 37 working group meetings in the future, the offeror will organize and conduct an initial planning advisory committee to explore arrangements for those meeting(s). The offeror's support will also include efforts to update or revise the ansi/NIST-ITL standard.
Intended beneficiaries
The standards developed as part of this effort will be made available to the product and systems developers, end users, government agencies, testing labs, and the general public to increase levels of confidence in quality, interoperability, and performance of biometric technology. Support for the development of biometric standards will directly address key components of NIST?s mission, vision, and core competency goals by specifically enhancing the interoperability of technology with direct impact on commerce as IT relates to economic and national security.
