Crossmatch Personal Indentity Verification (PIV) I Enrollment Solution

The Department of Education, through the Contracts and Acquisitions Management office, issued solicitation EDOOM09Q0015 for the procurement of the Crossmatch Personal Identity Verification (PIV) I Enrollment Solution. This requirement involves the acquisition of five enrollment stations, including the necessary PIV ONE System software, licenses, and hardware such as scanners and cameras. The scope of work encompasses the delivery, installation, testing, and training associated with these stations to ensure full operational capability. This procurement was set aside for Emerging Small Businesses under NAICS code 334119 and was conducted as a non-competitive action. The justification for limiting competition was based on the necessity for seamless integration with the existing Education Security Tracking and Reporting (EDSTAR) System and the requirement to maintain compliance with HSPD-12 standards, identifying Crossmatch as the only responsible source capable of meeting these specific technical needs. The solicitation was posted on August 28, 2009, with a response deadline of September 3, 2009, for performance in Washington, DC.
