'Beetlejuice' actor Shadix dead at 58
ARLINGTON, Va., July 28 (UPI) -- Virginia's Stanley Inc. reports it has received two government biometrics-related contracts worth a combined total of $7.9 million.
Both contracts are in support of the U.S. Army Intelligence Center Language Technology Office at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., it said.
"Biometrics and forensics capabilities are a key component to winning the war on terrorism," Kathy Debolt, deputy U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Capabilities manager for Biometrics and Forensics, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence, was quoted as saying.
"These projects will provide powerful tools to help protect our warfighters in theater and provide security for the local governments. We're excited to have Stanley and their partner, SAIC, both leaders in advanced biometric technologies, working together on this task."
The first award, a 2-year contract under the company's General Services Administration Alliant contract vehicle, consists of both time-and-materials and firm-fixed-price task orders worth about $6.7 million, with the exercise of options, for information technology support services.
The second, from the Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization, is a 2-year, cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with exercise of options, for operational support.
Under the GSA award, Stanley will provide expertise for a broad range of programs related to the development of biometric and forensic-related applications, management, maintenance, and operation of government-owned network equipment. It will also continue development of the Detainee Information Management System and the Multilingual Automated Registration System for the screening and enrollment of displaced people, refugees and evacuees, detainees and other people of interest.
Under the second award, Stanley will provide field support, network maintenance and documentation, it said.
