About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) questionnaire from GSA seeking market research information for legal services and representation for unaccompanied children in immigration proceedings. The questionnaire contains multiple-choice, yes/no, and open-ended questions focused on contractors' capabilities, experience, and capacity to provide legal services including Know Your Rights presentations, legal screenings, immigration case representation, and guardianship/custody proceedings.
The questions specifically probe vendors' ability to handle up to 80,000 cases per year, their experience with child welfare systems and immigration services, language capabilities, trauma-informed approaches, staff qualifications and retention, data reporting capabilities, and cost estimates per case and per hour. Key areas of interest include contractors' ability to provide national or regional coverage, startup timeframes, staffing requirements, technical assistance capabilities, and experience managing surge periods. The questionnaire is tied to a pre-solicitation from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families seeking a License Service Provider (LSP) to provide legal services for children in Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) care.
