Statement of Work for Contract IT Services

July ,

  • Title

Next Generation Identification and other FDLE Systems

  • Position Title
  • Systems Analyst ()

  • Background
  • Driven by advances in technology, customer requirements, and growing demand for Integrated

    Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) services, the FBI has initiated the Next

    Generation Identification (NGI) program. This program further advances the FBI's biometric

    identification services, providing an incremental replacement of current IAFIS technical

    capabilities, while introducing new functionality. NGI improvements and new capabilities will be

    introduced across a multi-year timeframe within a phased approach. The NGI system offers

    state-of-the-art biometric identification services and provides a flexible framework of core

    capabilities that will serve as a platform for multimodal functionality.

    A component of the larger NGI initiative is the Enhanced IAFIS Repository. Redesign of the FBI

    IAFIS criminal and civil history repository will improve the overall effectiveness of the IAFIS,

    develop new and streamline existing internal user processes, and provide new search and

    response services to the FBI and FDLE customers. The Enhanced IAFIS Repository offers a

    Rap Back” service allowing authorized agencies to receive notification of subsequent criminal

    activity reported to the IAFIS on individuals holding positions of trust. Additionally, modifications

    will be made to incorporate multimodal biometric identification capabilities for future needs.

    Through enhancements to the Falcon and Civil Workflow Control Service (CWCS) systems,

    FDLE is now participating and benefiting from these "Rap Back” services. This contracted

    developer will serve a key role in the development and maintenance of these enhancements as

    FDLE continues to enroll entities in the "Rap Back” program. This contracted developer will also

    aid in the development and maintenance of other systems or processes designed to enhance

    information / data sharing.

    FDLE also has many other systems needing additional resources to continue the level of

    support required.

    ITS is requesting one () full-time contract position to provide support, maintenance and

    enhancements to the NGI program, CJIS Information Systems, and other systems or processes

    for the purposes of enhancing information / data sharing.
