$12.5 Million Contract Awarded to Support Automated Booking System for Department of Justice

The Department of Justice, Justice Management Division awarded a $12.5 million contract to CACI International Inc. to continue providing program management support for the Joint Automated Booking System (JABS). Under the contract, which is for five years, CACI will provide management and technical services to help DOJ organize and share data critical to the investigation and prosecution of criminal violations of U.S. laws. The award increases the size and scope of CACI's JABS support and expands its business in knowledge management solutions and services.

The JABS program supports booking and arrest activities on behalf of DOJ and its components. It helps capture, store, print and transmit fingerprint, photographic and biographical data to identify individuals and provide criminal history information. JABS data is stored in a central database, where it is accessible for querying by federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement to investigate crimes.

Information- sharing goals are being implemented across the federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement environment via standards defined within the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM). The CACI team is working with the Justice Department's Chief Information Officer to deploy these NIEM standards in JABS, under the framework of a strategic data-sharing program called "OneDOJ."
