Identity Dominance System (IDS) Repair & MX Support Statement of Work (SOW)

C.1 BACKGROUND

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), Intelligent Automation Division (H60) has a requirement for continued support of the technology refresh for the Identity Dominance System (IDS) program. The IDS program is an Acquisition Category (ACAT) IV-T program of record (POR) currently in sustainment managed by Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) PMS 408 and sponsored by OPNAV N96C4. The IDS program provides a means to collect and process identity information in the conduct of maritime and expeditionary operations. There are two key aspects of this capability: 1) enable forces to rapidly establish and verify the identity information of unknown individuals encountered during operations and 2) improve force capacity to update, manage, and share trusted information on such individuals. The fundamental purpose of the IDS program is to provide and sustain a materiel solution with both hardware and software components for a multi-modal biometric capability which collects, matches, stores, and shares biometric data of individuals. The current configuration of the IDS Handheld Collection System includes the handheld collection device, the support kit containing additional batteries, cleaning supplies, etc., software/firmware, and training materials/manuals. IDS shall adhere to applicable technical standards and policies to include the Department of Defense (DoD) Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS), the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. § 552a), cybersecurity and information assurance policy, and network accreditation requirements.

The primary focus of this contract is the maintenance and repair of the IDS Handheld Collection System and the procurement of additional IDS Handheld Collection Systems.
