# VA Pilots CLEAR1 Identity Verification

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs selected Clear Secure Inc.’s CLEAR1 identity platform for a pilot providing veterans with biometric- and ID-based sign-in to VA.gov and in-person enrollment at six VA medical centers. The signals describe a pilot, not a contract award, and provide no contract value, solicitation number, expansion schedule, or procurement contact. Broader federal deployment or a volume-based contract is only a potential follow-on opportunity and would depend on adoption and a subsequent VA decision.

- The pilot gives digital identity providers and prospective federal contractors a concrete VA use case to track: online sign-in paired with enrollment at six medical centers.
- Companies pursuing federal identity work can assess how VA’s adoption results may inform demand for biometric and ID-based authentication; the signals do not establish a solicitation or commitment to expand.
- Contractors should watch for VA’s decision on broader deployment, while recognizing that no timeline, procurement vehicle, or next-step action is currently specified.
