D -- Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems Licenses

TSA intends to issue a firm-fixed price single source award to ID Solutions, Inc. for a requirement of the Office of Transportation Threat Assessment and Credentialing (TTAC) for additional Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) software licenses. The ID Solutions AFIS software is a propriety product which was used to enroll individuals during the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) prototype phase. This action is authorized by the TSA Acquisition Management System, (AMS) Section 3.2.2.4 - Single Source Selection, which allows contracting through a single source award when a rational basis is documented based on emergencies, standardization, and only source available to satisfy the mission requirement within the time required. For the reasons cited in this justification, ID Solutions is the only responsible source that can provide the services that will satisfy agency requirements within the time required.
