U.S. Office of Personnel Management Awards IDX® Identity Protection Services Contract
PORTLAND, Ore.— On December 21, 2018, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (“OPM”) awarded a new Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call to IDX (formerly ID Experts), to continue the provision of identity theft protection services to those individuals whose personal information may have been compromised in the 2015 cybersecurity incidents. The new consolidated follow-on award to the 2015 and 2016 awards to IDX will have a possible full period of performance of 5 years and value in excess of $400 million.
“IDX is excited to continue our service to OPM in providing identity protection services for the approximately 22.1 million individuals impacted by the 2015 cyber incidents. Protecting those who serve our nation will always be a top priority for the entire IDX team,” said Tom Kelly, president and CEO of IDX.
In September 2015, the Department of Defense and OPM announced IDX was awarded a BPA Call to provide identity monitoring and protection services for individuals impacted by the background investigations records. The following year, in October 2016, OPM awarded IDX a BPA Call to provide services for those individuals impacted solely by the personnel records cyber incident.
Since the beginning of the initial award in 2015, IDX has enrolled millions of individuals into credit and identity monitoring and protection services, received and responded to millions of calls by enrolled Individuals and has issued over a hundred million routine credit and identity monitoring alerts. IDX has maintained its commitment to provide services to enrolled individuals regardless of the cause of any reported fraudulent activity and remains proud to have maintained a 100 percent success rate in restoring credit and identities in response to enrollee claims.
IDX will continue to provide uninterrupted credit and identity monitoring, identity restoration services and identity theft insurance through the duration of the BPA Call. Individuals currently enrolled in services will continue to receive government-sponsored coverage from IDX at no cost, and do not need to take any further action at this time. All enrolled individuals continue to be automatically covered by identity theft restoration and identity theft insurance.
