The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2023 book requested $5.20M for FY2023; the PB2025 book reported $5.18M as actual total obligation authority — $14.0K below the request. 5.2 − 5.2 = -0.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Federal Investigative Services Information Technology
The National Background Investigation Services (NBIS) portfolio of systems and applications provides End-to-End (E2E) Personnel Vetting (PV) for the United States Government (USG). NBIS is a discrete set of IT resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of personal vetting information, including the full lifecycle of processes and procedures that inform and enable the PV process: Initial Vetting, Continuous Vetting (CV), Upgrades, Transfer of Trust, and Re-establishment of Trust. The current NBIS system comprises of a portfolio of twenty-one (21) PV systems and applications with multiple sub-systems. The architecture, software language and interfaces for these systems vary widely and include on-premise mainframe and servers to cloud hosted services and applications. For clarity, these systems and their applications will be grouped in categories including Background Investigation Enterprise Systems (BIES), Defense Information System for Security (DISS), MIRADOR, Secure Web Fingerprint Transmission (SWFT), applications developed under NBIS Other Transaction Authority (OTA) Agreement, and DoD Consolidated Adjudication Services (CAS) Apps (formerly known as “CAF Apps”). Given the uniqueness of the capability and the objective to reuse existing PV capital investments, previous efforts to develop a single NBIS system are being redirected towards a portfolio modernization program, migrating existing applications into the Cloud, and modernizing as required. During NBIS migration/modernization, DCSA will continue to operate the existing NBIS infrastructure serving the USG today, while iteratively migrating components of the system into a cloud service provider using the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability contracting vehicle. The migration to cloud will include a cloud readiness assessment and refactoring the NBIS underlying software and infrastructure into modular, cloud-native applications, shared services capabilities, cybersecurity capabilities, and interoperability. RDT&E funds support the migration and modernization of the NBIS portfolio of systems, Cloud hosting of the DevSecOps development pipeline, and program management costs.

Follow the dollar
No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Federal Investigative Services Information Technology. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
