NGI Capabilities

Administered by the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services division, NGI is used to manage fingerprint, facial recognition and other biometric data crucial to criminal investigations. Leidos previously worked with the FBI to improve NGI’s fingerprint identification accuracy to over 99.6 percent.

“Leidos’ work with the FBI to improve the system’s accuracy facilitates many more criminal identifications, helping to keep America safe,” said Roy Stevens, president of Leidos’ National Security Sector and a two-time Wash100 Award recipient.

The contract includes a one-year base period and four option years.
