FACT: Fast and Accurate Detection of Counterfeit Microelectronics Socially and Economically Disadvantaged: No Congressional District: N/A Total Award Amount: $998,099 Contract Number: 70RSAT23C00000006 Agency Tracking Number: 22. 1 DHS221-003-0037-II Solicitation Topic Code: DHS221-003 Solicitation Number: 22.
1 As outsourced microelectronic manufacturing grows, the safety and security of U.S. consumers becomes increasingly threatened by potential counterfeit electronics. Current counterfeit inspection techniques are labor intensive, time consuming, and impractical to use by field agents located on remote sites, away from major facilities, and with limited expertise.
The proposed work, Fast and Accurate Detection of Counterfeit Microelectronics (FACT) by Caspia Technologies will develop a system that utilizes a handheld device capable of rapidly and non-invasively detecting counterfeit microelectronics using visual imagery to be used by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents located at U.S. Ports of Entry (POEs).
The handheld device, (such as a cell phone or handheld camera), is connected to a cloud-based data processing platform hosting artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for automated counterfeit analysis. This real-time system architecture is quick and easy-to-use for operators with no imaging nor testing expertise.
In Phase I, Caspia successfully demonstrated the feasibility of machine/deep learning algorithms to evaluate microelectronic imagery for key physical anomalies on a cloud-based platform accessible from a handheld device. In Phase II, Caspia will demonstrate the prototype FACT solution in a POE test environment with the proposed handheld device and enhanced machine learning algorithms hosted on the cloud.
A roadmap that takes the program through Phase III will be part of the Phase II delivery. The proposed activities will progress commercialization goals of offering a cost-effective, accurate, non-invasive, real-time counterfeit detection system for market areas where safety and security are trusted within electronics.

The proposed rule published August 25, 2026 would add a $103,265 fee to every cap-subject H-1B petition starting with the FY2028 cycle. Institutions of higher education, affiliated nonprofits, nonprofit research organizations, and governmental research organizations pay nothing. That gap is now the single largest recruiting advantage in the federally funded research economy.
