The Marine Corps Regional Contracting Office, Far East, has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeing information on how a contractor could provide an all-inclusive and expandable access control system using biometrics and Automatic Identification Technology (AIT). The end product will provide the Provost Marshal’s Office (PMO) with the capability of producing tamper resistant base access passes, develop common databases for access control, and improve PMO capacity to screen personnel while minimizing human error and constraints. Currently, verification of passes depends on the gate guard’s ability to spot false or expired IDs and to manually screen personnel against debarment rosters, watch lists, or restricts access list via lengthy paper rosters.
