AGENCY:
Under the Federal
Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
201 Evaluation Program, the General
Services Administration (GSA)
publishes this notice of intent that it
will no longer fund product/service
evaluations as of April 3, 2007. Overall
impact on the FIPS 201 Evaluation

approved through the current fully
operational laboratory and future
qualified laboratories; however, fees for
evaluations will be borne on a cost–
reimbursable basis by the Supplier.
Instruction on how to obtain product/
service evaluations and an estimated fee
structure will be posted at: (https://
fips201ep.cio.gov/index.php).
DATES: The GSA FIPS 201 Evaluation
Program currently provides funding for
evaluation of products and services
through its fully operational laboratory.
Suppliers whose applications for
evaluation are received by the
laboratory after April 3, 2007 will be
required to bear the cost of their
evaluation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive–12 (HSPD–12), ‘‘Policy for a
Common Identification Standard for
Federal Employees and Contractors’’
requires agencies to use only
information technology products and
services that meet this standard. The
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has designated the GSA as the
Executive Agent for government-wide
acquisitions for the implementation of
HSPD–12. HSPD–12 establishes the
requirement for a mandatory
Government-wide standard for secure
and reliable forms of identification
issued by the Federal Government to its
employees and contractors. OMB has
directed Federal agencies to purchase
only products and services that are
compliant with the Federal policy,
standards and numerous supporting
technical specifications, including:
• Federal Information Processing
Standard 201, Personal Identity
Verification of Federal Employees and
Contractors;
• National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) Special Publications
(SP) 800–73, Interfaces for Personal
Identity Verification, 800–78
Cryptographic Algorithms and Key
Sizes for Personal Identity Verification,
and 800–79, Guidelines for the
Certification and Accreditation of PIV
Card Issuing Organizations; and
• Special Publication 800–76,
Biometric Data Specification for
Personal Identity Verification (Pending).
To ensure standard HSPD–12
compliant products and services are
available, NIST has issued requirements
in FIPS 201 and supporting
documentation (https://csrc.nist.gov/pivprogram/fips201–support-docs.html).
As mandated by OMB through M05–
24, GSA has been designated as the
‘‘executive agent for Government-wide
acquisitions of information technology’’
under section 5112(e) of the ClingerCohen Act of 1996 (40 U.S.C. § 11302(e))
for the products and services required
by the HSPD–12. GSA will ensure all
approved Suppliers provide products
and services that meet all applicable
federal standards and requirements
through its fully operational laboratory
under the FIPS 201 Evaluation Program,
web site found at (https://
fips201ep.cio.gov/index.php).
The GSA FIPS 201 Evaluation
Program is currently set up to evaluate
PO 00000

products and services against the
requirements outlined in FIPS 201 and
its supporting documents. Twenty-two
product/service categories were created
using FIPS 201 and supporting
documentation as the foundation. Each
category has developed approval and
test procedures which outline the
evaluation criteria, approval
mechanisms and test process employed
by the laboratory during their evaluation
of a Supplier’s product or service
against the requirements for that
category. Initially the cost of evaluating
each product was funded by GSA.
Once evaluated and approved by
GSA, products and services are placed
on the FIPS 201 Approved List.
Agencies can then procure these
products and services from Suppliers
for their HSPD–12 implementations
having full assurance that they meet all
the requirements of FIPS 201 and all
supporting documentation.
