Operate the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC) - National Center

Lockheed Martin's scalable and efficient set of solutions and subject-matter expertise will help NIJ and OJP meet their stated mission and objectives in the most cost-effective manner. In Lockheed Martin's continued commitment to the operation of the National Center, they will: - Develop and deliver innovative solutions to help NIJ complete the ongoing transformation of the NLECTC System and raise awareness of NLECTC's products and services within the criminal justice community through an overarching outreach and marketing strategy that will result in measurable increases in the number of practitioners informed and served. - Exploit technology to increase customer self-service, interaction and feedback; data integration; and program efficiency while decreasing the costs associated with support, maintenance and operations. - Expand our existing expertise in managing the compliance testing process to include the capacity to conduct research in response to emerging issues that impact the compliance testing program, thereby providing more rapid response to these concerns and enhancing the efficiency of program operation. - Use standardized metrics and data collection processes to measure tactical and strategic performance and the impact of dissemination plans and the marketing approach. Through its informational activities and through the compliance testing program Lockheed Martin will help local, and other law enforcement and criminal justice agencies make more reasoned decisions regarding the selection of equipment. Additionally, Lockheed Martin will publish a forensic issue of its award winning TechBeat magazine to help better inform local and state crime laboratories concerning forensic technologies, policies and practices.

This award supplements funding for award #2010-MU-MU-K020. This award was competitively made in response to a proposal submitted by Lockheed Martin Services, Inc. to the NIJ FY2010 solicitation National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center System-National Center. This supplemental award provides funding to Lockheed Martin Services, Inc. to continue to operate the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC)System's National Center. The National Center serves as the hub of the NLECTC System. It administers the NIJ equipment compliance-testing program. That program ensures the safety and effectiveness of the unique equipment used by the more than 800,000 criminal justice practitioners in the United States. The center also provides technology assistance. It does so passively through the Justice Information Network (www.JUSTNET.org). Among other informational resources, JUSTNET hosts databases identifying equipment that has been tested and found to be compliant with NIJ equipment performance standards. The Body Armor Compliant Product List is the best known of these databases. National Center operations will include:

* Hosting and administering JUSTNET.
* Providing electronic document and publication support, such as development and publication of the TechBeat electronic journal.
* Administering the NIJ Body Armor Compliance Testing Program.
* Administering the the NIJ equipment performance standards program.
* Administering revision of the NIJ Ballistic Helmet Standard and Stab-resistant and Ballistic-resistant Body Armor Standards.
