Current Projects
Department of State: IDMS/CMS & PACS
1998-Present
The XTec Team provides the State Department with a flexible
and cost-effective solution for new employee and contractor
smart card credentials. XTec is currently supporting the
deployment of the system to over 130,000 State Department
employees. With the implementation of this physical access
system, the State Department was one of the first agencies
to follow the GSA Interoperability Specification and has
been a leader in HSPD-12 compliance. XTec serves as Department
of State’s HSPD-12-approved systems integrator. The
PIV-II cards are used the way HSPD-12 intends; the cards
serve not only as smart card identification badges, but
have the background investigation behind their issuance
and are use for physical access. Department of State is
also issuing and managing credentials for 9 other agencies,
including Peace Corps and USAID.
“This was not about issuing a new FIPS 201 card.
With State Department using smart cards since 1998, our
first card issued had to work across the enterprise. Ensuring
the cards work in all the access control points was not
an option, but a requirement. We are pleased to have met
this objective,” Tony Mosley, Branch Chief of State
Department said. “XTec and our other team members,
including the 70 plus State Department HSPD-12 committee
members did a great job achieving this important objective.”

Department of Labor: HSPD-12 PIV-II Solution
2006-Present
XTec worked with Department of Labor to design, develop,
and implement the AuthentX Credential Management System
to meet the aggressive Homeland Security Presidential Directive
12 (HSPD-12) Personal Identity Verification Part II (PIV-II)
deadline of October 27, 2006. PIV-II badges are being distributed
to new employees and contractors, with FIPS 201-compliant
processes and technology. XTec is pleased to have helped
DOL meet their ambitious goal and continues to work with
the Agency as they deploy to their workforce nationwide.
The HSPD-12 solution in-use at Department of Labor includes
a system with full Authority to Operate (ATO) based on completed
Certification and Accreditation (C&A), an interface
with OPM to electronically submit fingerprints, and FIPS-201-compliant
PIV-II cards (in which the primary and secondary fingerprints,
as well as a PIN, are stored on a chip in the card). The
XTec supported DOL in project management (including a Project
Plan with Work Breakdown Structure and Earned Value Management),
communications, and training on the new card management
system. 
U.S. Department of the Navy, Commander, Naval Installations
(CNI) - ENABLER
2002-Present
XTec customized AuthentX for the Navy to be utilized as
a CAC web-based application enterprise infrastructure that
includes central and hierarchical management techniques,
interoperable solutions, industry standard options, and
maximum use of current Navy infrastructure. The Enterprise
Network, Application, Data Base and Logistical Enabler (ENABLER)
provides one point of interface for authoritative data sources
that all applications can use to search, retrieve or store
data.
The XTec Enabler application met the basic requirements
for an enterprise level smart card credential management
system. This enterprise system is designed to provide millions
in savings to the Navy’s Commander Naval Installations
(CNI) by dramatically reducing the number of client based
credential applications. It will also afford CNI enterprise
level control over the business processes by standardizing
the interoperable protocols among enterprise level and legacy
applications. More…
Air Force Tactical Application Center (AFTAC): Security
and Access Control
2006-Present
XTec is helping the Air Force secure their Tactical Application
Center at Patrick AFB in Melbourne, Florida. Leveraging
the existing Common Access Card (CAC) used by DoD, XTec
is installing the AuthentX Access Control System and CAC-enabled
X9907 readers for the perimeter of the Air Force Tactical
Application Center, with fiber optic cable and an internal
LAN. Complementing the Access Control System are CCTV cameras.
Eventually, the Air Force Tactical Application Center plans
to utilize XTec and the CAC to control physical access to
enter the facility and within the premises.
National Science Foundation: HSPD-12
2006-Present
XTec helped the National Science Foundation improve their
identity management through HSPD-12. NSF successfully met
the PIV-II deadline for issuance of smart cards before the
October 27, 2006, date.
GSA Public Services Building (PBS) Smart Card ID Credential
2002-Present
XTec was part of the team engaged by the General Services
Administration (GSA) to deliver and issue a hybrid (i.e.
contact and contactless Integrated Circuit Chip) smart card
ID credential to the GSA associates and contractors. XTec
technology was critical in complying with all deliverables
of the contract. XTec has leveraged its strong relationships
with multiple vendors and strong program management and
integration services to provide GSA with a superior smart
card solution.
XTec provided an AuthentX Card Management system combined
with program management and integration services, which
supplied GSA with a superior card issuance solution. XTec
remains committed to the implementation of standards in
the smart card industry and, as such, all cards offered
to GSA were fully compatible with the GSC-IS. More...
GSA Boston Tenant Access Control
2003-Present
XTec was awarded the GSA Region 1 Central Issuance contract
to provide multi-tenant credentialing and access control
for GSA Associates, Contractors and Tenants. GSA has a Memorandum
of Understanding in place with over 40 different agencies
and tenants of GSA, including Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of
Personnel Management (OPM), Department of Labor (DOL), and
Department of Justice (DOJ), for card enrollment and issuance
across multiple physical locations and physical access control.

GSA Philadelphia Access Control
2004-Present
XTec was contracted to provide GSA Region 3 (Greater Philadelphia)
with a modern LDAP-based Access Control System that is networked
based. Because IP is the most widely used open network architecture,
GSA Region 3’s security access control system was
implemented with a state-of-the-art open architecture whose
key network components are able to be purchased with off
–the-shelf-technology. More...
Maritime Administration
1999-Present
XTec supports the Maritime Administration (MARAD) and the
Ship Operators Cooperators Program (SOCP) in its Maritime
IC card project. XTec works with GSA, TSA, and DOT to define
a maritime international standard for identification/verification,
ship boarding, and training certification. This solution
was proposed as a possible replacement for the Coast Guard
"Z" card required by mariners. The Maritime Administrative
Card (MAC) has been demonstrated recently with Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) in its First Responder electronic
identity/attribute trust model spearheaded by the National
Capital Region Coordination (NCRC).
The Maritime Interoperability Demonstration (MID) exercise
was a multi-port preparedness identity management (PIM)
demonstration on July 20, 2006, by the United States Department
of Transportation (US DOT), MARAD, and DHS. Actionable feedback
resulted in meaningful recommendations by project participants.
As the result of leadership, support, many coordinated efforts,
and phone conferences prior to demonstration, participants
felt the exercise was a success. More...
