DHS’s Office of Procurement Operations has awarded an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract to HP Enterprises Services to provide products and services for Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12, issued in 2004 to establish a standard and secure form of federal government ID.
The $102 million contact carries a one-year base with nine one-year options. According to the FedBizOpps’s website, the contract calls for a workflow management system that will automate the personal identity verification — PIV process, sponsorship, enrollment, adjudication, identity, eligibility, issuance, re-issuance, use, maintenance, retrieval, revocation and more.
HP reportedly will work on adding a biometric component to the PIV, taking that task out of the hands of DHS component agencies.
