News: Search Index System for DNA, Chosen by FBI, from Unisys
News Related to the Web Hosting Industry

Blue Bell, Pennsylvania - (Website Hosting Directory) - October 26, 2006 - The U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), has chosen Unisys Corporation, for the development and deployment of the Next-Generation Combined DNA Index System (NGCODIS). Under the contract, Unisys will provide the FBI with software development, deployment and optional operations and maintenance support.

The development contract has a two-year base period, a two-year option, and two one-year options exercisable at the sole discretion of the government. The estimated value for the two-year base period is $11 million. If all option years are exercised, the estimated value to Unisys could be $50 million. Unisys will partner with the University of Tennessee, Laboratory of Information Technologies; IBM; the University of Cincinnati and iSYS LLC to provide the NGCODIS solution for the government.

Chief among the benefits of the NGCODIS solution to the FBI are scalability and flexibility to meet the increased demand for DNA matching and associated technologies. In addition, the Unisys solution will employ a highly sophisticated search engine technology that will greatly accelerate the DNA matching process and will be adaptable in accordance with recent legislation changes with regard to DNA sampling.

NGCODIS also supports the mission of solving missing person cases by providing an advanced analysis algorithm that accurately ranks matches between unidentified human remains to biological relatives.

The FBI laboratory's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) is a mission-critical program that allows federal, state and local labs to share and compare DNA profiles, enabling the national and international linkage of convicted offenders to violent crimes.

Ted Davies, Managing Partner of Civilian Agencies at Unisys Federal Systems remarked, '' We look forward to helping the FBI take CODIS to the next level by integrating technology that will enable quicker resolution of crimes and apprehension of criminals via secure information sharing. The DOJ and FBI clearly recognize the advantages of making security a catalyst for crime solving.''

Presently, there are 178 national DNA index system participating labs (126 local and 52 state systems) that include the FBI, the U.S. Army and Puerto Rico. This database contains approximately 3.7 million offender profiles and 150,000 forensic profiles. Through August 2006, CODIS has aided 38,295 investigations in 49 states and two federal laboratories.

Unisys NGCODIS solution will be deployed to all U.S. labs and to crime labs in 26 countries. The international systems represent each countrys national forensic DNA database and do not communicate with each other or with the U.S. systems. NGCODIS will support the FBI enterprise architecture initiatives by promoting secure information sharing among FBI CODIS crime labs.

Unisys is a worldwide technology services and solutions company, providing consulting, systems integration, outsourcing, infrastructure, and server technology to help our clients achieve secure business operations. We build more secure organizations by creating visibility into clients business operations.
