Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS):

Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC), has established the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) to improve management and force protection at Navy installations. The Navy has transitioned from using the Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS) to the DBIDS for contractors and vendors requiring access to an installation. DBIDS is a standardized process for granting unescorted access privileges to vendors, contractors, suppliers, and service providers not otherwise entitled to the issuance of a Common Access Card (CAC) who seek access to and can provide justification to enter Navy installations and facilities. Visiting vendors may obtain daily passes directly from the individual Navy Installations by submitting identification credentials for verification and undergoing a criminal screening/background check. Alternatively, if the vendor so chooses, it may voluntarily elect to obtain long-term credentials through enrollment registration, backing vetting, screening, issuance of

credentials through a designated independent contractor DBIDS service provider.
