Server in The Sky: FBI Expected to Award NGI Contract to Lockheed Martin

Alice Lipowicz and Ben Bain write on FCW.com:

The FBI is expected to announce as early as today that it has awarded a $1 billion biometric database contract to Lockheed Martin, industry sources say.

An FBI spokesman said he anticipated the agency would make an announcement as early as today but did not confirm who won. Industry sources close to the competition said the FBI has notified the bidders that Lockheed Martin was awarded the contract.

Note: Given that Lockheed Martin is also the contractor "conducting" the UK 2011 National Census, this should be rather worrisome, regardless of MP assurances. -ferg
