HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The U.S. Navy recently awarded a contract to Eid Passport, Inc., one of the nation’s leading high-assurance identity management solution providers, to provide credentialing support for the Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS).
Eid Passport is a Navy-certified commercial credentialing source for NCACS. This new contract will further integrate Eid Passport’s technology into NCACS, resulting in improved efficiency and effectiveness for issuing credentials to vendors, suppliers and service providers who seek entry to Navy facilities, while also improving security at Navy facilities, enclaves and installations.
Steve Larson, Eid Passport’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “We look forward to this expanded relationship with the U.S. Navy, one of our most important customers. The RAPIDGate Program provides a level of identity assurance and verification that strengthens security at the Navy’s many facilities, and is highly successful and cost effective.”
In October, Eid Passport launched its RAPIDGate-PremierTM Program, which features high-assurance Personal Identity Verification-Interoperable (PIV-I) credentials.
