United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) anticipates a requirement that is being considered under a Total small business set-aside program.  The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code proposed is 334118 - Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing.  The size standard for this NAICS code is 1000 Employees.  

The requirement is to provide:  A background vetting system with annual service that expediently conducts background checks for hundreds of thousands of visitors to USAFA annually. The system needs to have a self-service kiosk where visitors can physically request a visitor pass by entering in their driver's license information which is then verified to be accurate and valid, have a background check conducted and a pass printed.  The system also needs to have an online registration portal that utilizes U.S. government agencies to process visitors efficiently and securely while conducting the criminal history background check.  This system will support visitors and non-DoD ID card holders requesting access to the installation by running the criminal history background checks and ensuring there are zero unfavorable offenses that would otherwise require denial to the installation.
