Description: Development of a computerized data collection and retrieval system on analyzed drug samples from non DEA forensic laboratories. The National Forensic Laboratory Information System (NFLIS) contract is funded by the office of Diversion Control (OD) and the Drug and Chemical Evaluation Section (ODE) is responsible for the project.

RTI will initially recruit a representative sample of state and local crime laboratories to report analyzed drug data. Future recruiting efforts will focus on additional state and local laboratories and federal laboratories which analyze seized or purchased drug samples.

The data generated will be used to provide more timely information in support of drug scheduling actions, monitor the diversion of legitimate pharmaceutical products, detect new trends in drug abuse, provide a more accurate picture of drug availability, price and purity, support drug policy decisions and provide regional, state and local trends of drug trafficking and abuse. The NFLIS will complement and supplement the DEA System To Retrieve Information from Drug Evidence (STRIDE) and other drug related surveys and databases. The database will also collect information on criminal activities associated with the drug exhibits.

Data from the NFLIS is expected to provide DEA and state and local authorities with more complete, accurate, up-to-date information on traditional and new abused substances. The period of performance is for a Base Period with four (4) twelve-month Option Periods. The contract is a Cost Plus Fixed Fee Type with a five year estimated cost of $6,500,000.

Description: This contract will provide the Drug Enforcement Administration's Office of Science and Technology (ST) with an Automated Fingerprint Identification System with access to evidential information from Federal, state and local databases.
The Automated Fingerprint Identification System has revolutionized criminal investigations in the law enforcement community. Fingerprints, sometimes ignored because of the enormous time required to search manual files, are now routinely used to solve crimes by electronically searching a latent print against a data base containing millions of fingerprints. It replaces the manual searching of fingerprints, which has always been an unavoidable and time-consuming area of fingerprint identification. An AFIS dramatically reduces the time needed for searching fingerprints with a known data base.
