Description
BI2 Technologies is a developer of biometric identification systems. Their main product is called I.R.I.S., which scans a person’s iris to quickly check their identity. They also have a mobile system called MORIS that can capture iris and facial data using a smartphone or tablet, allowing law enforcement to identify people in the field. In October 2025, an article in the Washington Post revealed that the company is a contractor for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE awarded the company a sole-source contract worth $4.6 million to provide a mobile iris-scanning system for use by its agents. Border sheriffs along the U.S.-Mexico border have also adopted the company's iris-recognition technology.
