The Social Security Administration (SSA) is seeking proposals for a nationwide law-enforcement database to support its Office of Security and Emergency Preparedness (OSEP) in implementing Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12). The primary objective is to establish a system capable of verifying and validating identity documents and querying national and international law enforcement sources to ensure that credentials are issued only to trustworthy individuals. This initiative is critical for maintaining the security of agency facilities and information systems, particularly in safeguarding against potential threats to critical infrastructure. Interested parties can contact Nathaniel Bell at Nathaniel.Bell@ssa.gov for further information regarding this solicitation.
