The U.S. Department of Defense Armed Forces agencies placed a purchase order for Identix’s fingerprint biometric system, as well as two other non-Department of Homeland Security-related federal agencies. The contracts totaled about $900,000.
The Armed Forces agencies plan to deploy the live scan system domestically and internationally. The orders are for the TouchPrint 3000 line of 10-print live scan fingerprint booking stations and desktop systems.
“The solid order flow we have experienced in the federal sector this quarter, coupled with an increase in orders and activity from international markets and a pick up in the state and local space, demonstrates a marked change for Identix and for the biometric industry,” says Dr. Joseph J. Atick, Identix president and CEO.
