Custom Biometric Processing Software/Firmware Development

The contract entails the development and licensing of custom software or firmware designed for biometric data capture, processing, encryption, and system integration within collection kits. The work specifically supports the Department of Defense through a subcontract under the NAICS code 511210, focusing on secure and reliable biometric functionality tailored to operational requirements. The software must ensure end-to-end security of sensitive biometric information during capture, transmission, storage, and processing, with full integration into existing or planned hardware systems used in the field. The response deadline for submissions is May 26, 2026, at 4:00 PM, with the opportunity posted on May 11, 2026. Performance is expected to take place in Colorado Springs, though no specific office address or point of contact is provided. The contract does not specify a set-aside designation, and all interested parties must meet the technical and compliance requirements for developing secure biometric systems under military specifications. Licensing rights for the developed software or firmware will be a critical component of the deliverables, ensuring the government retains appropriate usage and distribution rights.
