CLEAR and General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) have announced a strategic collaboration to bring CLEAR’s secure identity platform into federal agencies, with GDIT named as CLEAR’s preferred federal systems integrator. The agreement focuses on deploying CLEAR1 across federal health and civilian agency environments.
CLEAR1 is the company’s enterprise identity platform, built to verify a person by combining a government-issued identity document check with a selfie match so that users can prove who they are without relying on passwords. It is the business-to-business and government layer of CLEAR’s identity products, distinct from the airport security lanes the company is best known for, and is aimed at workplace, healthcare, and government verification. Under the collaboration, GDIT will act as the integrator that delivers and operates CLEAR1 inside federal systems, drawing on its existing role as a large-scale technology services provider to U.S. government agencies.
The companies said they will develop joint solutions through GDIT’s Emerge Labs, focused on health and civilian use cases such as secure access to electronic records and reductions in identity-driven fraud. GDIT has already integrated CLEAR1 into its hybrid multi-cloud offerings supporting the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, giving the collaboration an existing federal health reference point.
“Secure, trusted identity is foundational to how our government delivers healthcare and critical services,” said Caryn Seidman Becker, Chief Executive Officer of CLEAR. Amy Gilliland, President of GDIT, said, “We help our customers serve the public with confidence and security while providing a seamless user experience.”
The collaboration builds on steps CLEAR has taken to make CLEAR1 usable in government settings. The platform reached FedRAMP In Process status at the Moderate impact level, a stage in the federal authorization process that requires an agency sponsor, implemented security controls, and independent assessment. CLEAR1 is also one of the verification options that has been added to Medicare.gov alongside Login.gov and ID.me, part of a broader federal shift toward identity-proofed account access.
The arrangement offers federal health and civilian agencies a single integrator path for adding document-and-selfie identity verification to systems that hold sensitive records, rather than each agency contracting the components separately. The collaboration covers deployment and joint solution development; specific agency contracts were not detailed in the announcement.
