The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis with Schwarz Forensic Enterprises, INC. (SFE) under the authority of RFO 12.102(a) for Latent Fingerprint Ground Truth Determination Support Services.
Background Information and Basis for Sole Source
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Information Technology Laboratory, Information Access Division, Image Group requires contractual support for Latent Fingerprint Ground Truth Determination Support Services. This requirement is critical for the Evaluation of Latent Friction Ridge Technology (ELFT) to provide an accurate measurement of current automated identification algorithm error rates.
As part of the IARPA Nail-to-Nail (N2N) Challenge, NIST acquired a significant corpus of friction ridge imagery. While a portion was released as “NIST Special Database 302, ” a critical volume of data was intentionally sequestered at NIST for biometric technology evaluations. This sequestered data has never been seen by technology evaluation participants, ensuring high confidence in benchmark results. Because the latent fingerprints requiring correlation originated from larger regional photographs containing additional test prints, maintaining strict sequestration is imperative. Introducing a new contractor to this sensitive environment would risk the integrity of the ELFT test corpus, as SFE has already been successfully trusted with keeping this derived and raw data sequestered.
The primary objective is to determine the ground truth source finger position for 3, 000 latent impression images. SFE is in a unique position as they were the original certified latent print examiners (CLPE) and human subjects protection research experts responsible for the initial data collection. Consequently, SFE is the only source in possession of the raw context and Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved data necessary to verify so...
