The focus is on ensuring the security of CUI, preventing unauthorized access, and establishing procedures for handling, marking, and disseminating this sensitive information. This involves adhering to operational security policies, restricting personal electronic devices, and implementing procedures for photograph and recording management. Additionally, the procurement seeks to put in place measures to safeguard information systems, with a emphasis on protecting CUI from potential aggregation and compilation that could lead to classification. The RFP outlines a comprehensive set of requirements for contractors to maintain the security of this sensitive information, with strict guidelines on information handling and storage, and mandates that contractors facilitate government audits and inspections to ensure compliance. The contract, valued at an estimated cost of several million dollars, will likely be a firm-fixed-price agreement, with the government seeking a secure solution rather than specific products or services. Bids are due within two months of the RFP's release, and the contract is expected to be awarded shortly thereafter, indicating a sense of urgency around implementing these security measures. Key tasks include developing procedures for handling and safeguarding CUI and NNPI, with specific attention to preventing foreign access and implementing appropriate dissemination controls. Contractors will also be responsible for monitoring and reporting any potential classification of aggregated or compiled CUI, as well as ensuring the secure transmission and disposal of this information. Furthermore, they will be expected to facilitate the government's security audits and provide recommended changes to security protocols, if necessary. The evaluation of proposals will likely prioritize contractors with a strong track record in implementing complex security measures and maintaining information security.

The primary objective is to implement an advanced identity verification system using biometric databases and associated information services. This system should grant access to authorized individuals while preventing unauthorized access, with a focus on protecting national security. The solution should support the issuance and management of Local Population Identification Cards/Base Access Passes. These passes are essential for controlling access and maintaining a secure environment across Navy and Marine Corps installations. The successful vendor will need to provide a comprehensive system that integrates with existing databases, including the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and Terrorist Screening Database, to ensure robust vetting and fitness determinations for access. Key requirements include the ability to verify identity using a combination of state-issued and federal documents, with provisions for US citizens, naturalized citizens, and aliens. The system should capture and process various personal details, including biometric data like hair and eye color, along with employment and sponsorship information.
