Post-Release Legal Services

The Post-Release Legal Services Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award vehicle established by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to provide legal services for unaccompanied children (UC) after their release from government care and custody. The contract, originating from solicitation 75ACF123R00004, is designed to support legal representation through firm, fixed-price task orders for commercial legal services. The vehicle is structured to allow multiple prime contractors to compete for task orders supporting legal needs of refugee and immigrant children in the United States, with a focus on post-release legal assistance.

The initial task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate significant variability in contract values, ranging from $2,534.53 to $212,874,891.58. Kind Inc. (doing business as Kids In Need Of Defense) has emerged as a prominent contractor, securing two substantial task orders with total ceiling values exceeding $420 million, with performance periods extending to November 6, 2029. ICF Incorporated, L.L.C. has also been awarded a smaller task order. The contracts are consistently awarded as Time and Materials pricing arrangements, with no specific small business set-aside designations. All task orders are directly supporting the Office of Refugee Resettlement's mission, specifically targeting legal services for unaccompanied children migrating to the United States, with the primary funding agency being the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
