- Description
- APPLICATION SUPPORT CENTERS (ASC) Operations and Facilities Services ? The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (DHS/USCIS) has a requirement to operate, lease, and maintain facilities for the Application Support Center Program. Requirements include biometrics collection, mobile route operations, application collection, local scheduling, facilities leasing/ maintenance, special projects, and project/administrative support to process USCIS customers seeking immigration benefits. Currently, biometrics capture and other services for approximately 3.5 million applicants (5 million processed benefits) are performed annually by approximately 1,300 contractor staff at 136 government or contractor-leased ASCs through the USA and its territories. The prime vendor must assume all leases for contractor-leased space (currently 81 leases), and may be required to obtain leases for and operate a new domestic scheduling center and potentially overseas sites. DHS anticipates significant ASC organizational and process changes during the life of the contract to meet future workload and homeland security issues. Sites may be added, moved, or deleted as needs change. Significant workload lulls and surges are expected. All contractor staff must be U.S. citizens and must be able to obtain a T-2 (mid-risk) or T-1 (high-Risk) clearance. Labor categories will vary by site and may consist of site supervisors, quality assurance specialists, quality assurance processors, biometrics technicians, unarmed guards, armed guards, schedulers, and other labor categories that cover the work listed above. The Government plans to post the Request For Proposal (RFP) to FedBizOpps on or about September 19, 2005. The RFP will be issued on an unrestricted basis (full & open competition). The Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract period of performance will be for a base year and four one-year option periods.
