L-1 Identity Solutions Protests TWIC Contract Award.

STAMFORD, Conn. -- L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc., (NYSE:ID), a leading supplier of identity solutions and services, announced that the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Integrated Biometric Technology, today initiated a protest over the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) award of the $69.5 million Transportation Works Identification Card (TWIC) contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation. The award was made on January 29, 2007.

The TWIC program will require that a tamper-resistant biometric credential be carried by every transportation and maritime worker nation-wide in an effort to better control security around the nation's ports, port facilities and vessels. TWIC was developed in response to the vulnerabilities identified in the various areas of the transportation system and is mandated by the USA PATRIOT Act, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, and the Maritime Transportation Security Act.

IBT filed its protest with the FAA Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition (ODRA), the adjudicative body that resolves challenges to TSA award decisions. Mr. Robert LaPenta, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of L-1, the parent corporation of IBT, said that he decided to initiate this bid protest reluctantly, only after realizing that the TSA apparently made certain critical mistakes in its evaluation of the IBT proposal.

Mr. LaPenta said, "We are convinced that had the TSA evaluated all offer proposals fairly and properly, the Agency would have concluded that the IBT team unquestionably offered the government the most capable, most affordable, and best value solution."

The IBT team has been performing similar work for the TSA for many years in the HazMat (Hazardous Materials) arena and has consistently received outstanding reviews from TSA for such work.

Since 1993, L-1 companies, including IBT, have provided electronic fingerprinting services to a wide variety of agencies and industries at convenient centers located across the U.S. To date, L-1 companies have processed nearly three million individuals who require fingerprint-based background checks as a basis for employment and licensing.

"Having ODRA take an objective look at the TSA award decision will allow us to gain a clearer understanding of the reasons for the Agency's decision," Mr. LaPenta said. "This is the first step in that process, and our conclusions may continue to evolve as more information becomes available. At this point, however, it appears that the TSA misread certain key aspects of our proposal, including our proposed price."
