The program's 3 summary figures for FY24 to FY26, plotted in fiscal-year order so the direction of travel is readable at a glance: this line ends higher than it starts. The points are the summary cards above, not a separate derivation; the table beside the chart carries each figure with its own citation.

7 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2020–FY2026): a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line rises across the span, and 1 year is a break in the line rather than a low value: an edition the program is absent from, never interpolated. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

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.

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. 5.25.2 = -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.

Mission National Background Investigation Services

The Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency (DCSA) is a strategic asset to the nation and our allies - continuously ensuring a trusted federal, industrial, and affiliated workforce, and enabling industry's delivery of uncompromised capabilities by leveraging advanced technologies and innovation. DCSA uniquely blends critical technology protection, trusted personnel vetting, counterintelligence, and professional education and certification to advance and preserve America's strategic edge.

Awards

No awards are linked to this program element at high 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.

No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,741 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
