The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Office of Acquisition Management (OAQ), intends to award an Indefinite Delivery Requirements Fixed Unit Price contract for this effort using FAR Part 15 procedures. Services to be procured include contractor support, GPS ankle bracelets and a tracking/monitoring system, telephonic reporting voice recognition / verification system and a case management system with the ability to monitor from enrollment to termination from ISAP III. The Contractor will need to use PACER and any other relevant public systems to ascertain each Participant's status with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), and make the appropriate updates and adjustments in their database for tracking and reporting purposes

ISAP III is a core community-based supervision and in-person reporting program designed to provide cost-effective electronic monitoring supervision and case management for individuals who are not subject to mandatory detention but have been determined to require a higher level of monitoring than being released on recognizance or with bond conditions alone. These individuals may be at any stage in the Immigration Court system. Activities of aliens released from ICE custody and placed in the program (i.e. participants) may be monitored by case specialists (i.e. contractors) or directly by the ICE officers themselves. Aliens participating in this alternative program must comply with a variety of activities and reporting requirements designed to successfully reintegrate the alien into his or her community while navigating the immigration process from initial of proceedings through departure. Program requirements for compliance include, but are not limited to: unannounced home visits, scheduled office visits, electronic monitoring, and submission of a valid travel document. To ensure successful outcomes, the program relies on Electronic Monitoring (EM) devices, telephonic reporting and unannounced home visits. Participants must also report to their assigned ISAP office regularly for face-to-face interviews.
