DCSA Identity Proofing

The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) is seeking information from industry partners to conduct market research for its upcoming National Industrial Security System (NISS) Increment 2 (NI2) system. The NI2 system requires a solution that provides NIST Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2) proofing to rigorously verify user identities and reduce the risk of fraud. The solution should be able to integrate with Identity Management (IDM) solutions and an OpenID Connect (OIDC) broker, and be deployable and operational within Department of War (DoW) cloud environments at Impact Levels (IL) 2, 4, and 5. The solution should also provide 24/7, U.S.-based customer support and demonstrate certification against NIST SP 800-63A IAL2 requirements from an accredited Conformity Assessment Body. • The solution should provide identity proofing for persons, domestic and foreign, with or without a Department of War Common Access Card (CAC) who require access to the system. • The solution should support various multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions. • The solution should be able to meet the following objectives: integrate with IDM solutions and an OIDC broker, be deployable and operational within DoW cloud environments, and support various MFA solutions. • The solution should provide 24/7, U.S.-based customer support. • The solution should demonstrate certification against NIST SP 800-63A IAL2 requirements from an accredited Conformity Assessment Body.
