LexisNexis Risk Solutions says it now supports all three functional areas of Login.gov’s next-generation remote identity-proofing program, extending its role across document checks, biometric verification, identity resolution and fraud detection.
The U.S. General Services Administration issued the latest call order under an existing blanket purchase agreement. LexisNexis said the combined awards for Functional Areas 1 and 2 are valued at approximately $55 million and cover document authentication, document validation and biometric identity verification. The Functional Area 3 award is valued at approximately $163 million and covers identity resolution, attribute validation, behavioral intelligence and fraud detection.
Login.gov gives people one account for accessing participating federal programs, benefits and services. The new work is intended to support a broader identity-proofing lifecycle, using document and biometric checks to establish an applicant’s identity and risk analytics to detect suspicious behavior during the process.
The award adds LexisNexis to a growing group of companies supporting the federal platform’s modernization. GSA recently awarded Xcelerate Solutions and Socure a $163 million call order for remote unsupervised identity proofing, including real-time identity resolution, fraud detection and behavioral analytics. Another team led by Diamond Capture and Incode secured a $37.4 million award covering document authentication and biometric identity verification.
Dividing the procurement into functional areas allows GSA to combine specialized services rather than rely on a single proofing component. Document authentication checks whether an identity document is genuine, biometric verification compares the applicant with the credential, and identity-resolution tools assess supporting attributes and fraud signals. Together, those layers are designed to help legitimate users complete enrollment while identifying higher-risk applications for additional handling.
LexisNexis has supported Login.gov identity proofing for several years. Its government identity products combine public-record and identity data with document checks, device intelligence and analytics designed to determine whether an identity exists and whether an application presents indicators of fraud.
Haywood Talcove, CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions Government, said identity verification has to support both secure access and accessibility as agencies move more services online. The multi-vendor structure gives the government access to distinct capabilities across the proofing process while allowing the shared sign-in platform to serve participating agencies through a common identity layer.
