- manufacturing NEXUS and SENTRI cards pursuant to any existing contract or purchase order until the earlier of the date on which such contract expires or such purchase order is filled, or December 31, 2016;
- assembling or manufacturing any secure credentials specifically at the request of the Central Intelligence Agency or the National Security Agency for use in classified programs or activities; and
- manufacturing identification badges for the presidential inauguration.
The term "secure credential" is defined as an identification document that includes component security parts designed to authenticate the document or reduce the risk of the unauthorized replication or alteration of the document.
