This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Office of Contracting, on behalf of the Document Management Division (DMD), plan to negotiate a sole-source contract with General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) for Card Personalization System Technology Refreshment (CPSTR) workstations and production operations at the Lee Summit Facility (LPF) in Missouri and provide continued system sustainment /upgrades for the Corbin Production Facility (CPF) influencing the overall USCIS production capacity. The CPSTR is USCIS' only standard Permanent Resident Card (PRC) and Employment Authorization Document (EAD) card processing system with fully integrated software/logistic support that meets the requirement. Currently, GDIT is maintaining and operating the CPSTR system at the USCIS CPF in Corbin, Kentucky. An additional Second Full Service Production Facility is required to ensure compliance with the Department of Homeland Security Continuity of Operations Policy (COOP) capability and increase USCIS' production capacity to produce PRC and EAD cards. GDIT designed the underlying CPSTR system in USCIS' CPF to include the application software, encoding and all drivers within the separate workstations that comprise of the complete system, tying all components together. GDIT is the sole manufacturer of the CPSTR system, and the Government does not possess a detailed Technical Data Package (TDP) for this item. Therefore, the CPSTR LPF acquisition will be a contract for the development and production of CPSTR system and support equipment, additional component hardware, and sustainment of a highly specialized card production system. The proposed action will provide a second production site, identical to CPF, to ensure a stable production line, thus lowering program risk.
The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. However, all responsible sources that can provide supporting data to demonstrate they can successfully perform the effort may submit a response that shall be considered by the agency. The resultant contract will be a five-year, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Responses are to be received via email within 15 calendar days of the date of this notice. All requests for further information must be in writing or via e-mail. Telephone requests for additional information will not be honored. You may forward responses to the following e-mail address: Heather.V.Niquette@uscis.dhs.gov. Acknowledgement of receipt will be issued.

The USCIS Document Management Division (DMD) manages the secure identification card personalization systems to personalize secure USCIS cards in a manner that assures efficiency and maximizes security. The current portfolio of secure cards produced within DMD includes the Permanent Resident Card (PRC) and Employment Authorization Document (EAD) Cards.
Card Personalization System Technology Refreshment (CPSTR) is a complex card identification system to receive data, personalize and issue cards, and provide systems feedback regarding completion and mailing of cards. The CPSTR system is made up of a combination of custom-developed machines, software and some commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) systems. CPSTR uses an Oracle-based CPSTR server to control data flow into and out of the CPSTR architecture. The server is GFE but programmed/configured by the current contractor. The CPSTR includes data processing, laser etching and robotic technologies, all of which must be properly maintained and repaired in order to reliably produce millions of cards per year which provide proof of immigration status and benefits for millions of people. The maintenance must be regularly performed with corrective action taken immediately in order to reliably produce millions of cards per year which provide proof of immigration status and benefits for millions of people. Without consistent, corrective maintenance the system would become unreliable, vulnerable to failure, and eventually incapable of producing cards. The maintenance must be regularly performed with corrective action taken immediately in order to ensure the CPSTR system is capable of 100% accuracy with the capability of being available to meet production requirements up to 20 hours/day, 6 days/week and 50 weeks/year to produce 120 - 300 cards per hour (depending on card type) and addressing envelope inserts with the correct card recipient address information at a rate of up to 1200 cards per hour.
