About this opportunity
The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) is seeking maintenance, support, and licensing for AWARE BioSP software, a Department of Defense-specific fingerprint capture solution developed exclusively by Aware, Inc. This software is essential for real-time fingerprint image and biographical data capture and transmission to DCSA systems through the SWFT application. The procurement is structured as a single-source, firm-fixed-price contract for a base year plus four option years, covering BiometricSuite for Workstations (up to 10,000 licenses), BioSP Servers Maintenance, and BioSP Disaster Recovery Maintenance. While this is not a competitive solicitation due to the sole-source nature of the software, interested contractors may submit responses for government consideration. The original response deadline of September 1, 2025 at 10:00 AM ET was extended to September 3, 2025 at 10:00 AM ET due to a federal holiday, with submissions required to Kimberly Carter and Clinton Wells via email.
Despite the government description indicating "No Set-Aside Used," the solicitation document indicates this is actually set aside as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) contract under NAICS code 541519 with a size standard of $34 million. Aware, Inc. is identified as the sole source provider and likely incumbent, as they are the exclusive developer and maintainer of the BioSP software with no alternative sources available. The contract structure includes a base year covering October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, with option years extending through September 30, 2030, providing up to five years of total coverage. The procurement encompasses licensing for up to 10,000 workstation licenses along with server maintenance and disaster recovery maintenance components. Performance will support DCSA's fingerprint capture and transmission requirements, with the software serving as a critical component of the agency's counterintelligence and security operations.
