About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) has issued a Special Notice for a sole-source purchase order with Intuition Machines, Inc. for an hCaptcha Enterprise license. The notice, posted on May 6, 2025, with a due date of May 15, 2025, is a procurement action for 10 million monthly verifications of the hCaptcha security service. The opportunity is set aside for total small businesses and falls under the Software Publishers NAICS category. The contract will be awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, which allows for procurement from only one responsible source when no other supplies or services can satisfy agency requirements.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to secure a continuation of the hCaptcha verification service, which is already integrated into EOIR's web applications and provides security checks to distinguish between human users and bots. Intuition Machines, Inc. is recognized as the sole owner and provider of the hCaptcha service, making them the exclusive source for this procurement. The agency notes that replacing the current system would require significant time, money, and resource investments. Interested parties proposing alternative verification products are instructed to email ops.eoir.procurement@usdoj.gov with performance benefits and estimated transition costs. The procurement is a follow-on to a previous contract (15JE1R24P00000003) and requires the contractor to provide the enterprise license and associated technical support. Small businesses meeting the specified requirements are eligible to review and potentially provide alternative solutions through the designated communication channel.
