About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has awarded a sole-source contract to Quadient, Inc. for DS700iQ add-on hardware and Dynamic Envelope Printer systems on July 24, 2026, with an estimated total value of $335,619.76.
The justification cites FAR 6.103-1, only one responsible source, on the basis that Quadient maintains exclusive ownership and control over the proprietary DS700iQ system architecture, DEP integration technology, inserter communication protocols, firmware, diagnostic utilities, and OEM-certified replacement components. Market research confirmed that use of non-OEM equipment or unsupported integration services would introduce substantial operational and technical risk to mission-essential mail production and document handling operations. The requirement is a follow-on to existing naturalization pack inserter machines previously awarded to Quadient under USCIS competitively-awarded contract 70SBUR23F00000136.
The contract is executed under Quadient's GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract 47QSMA20D08QV and includes two DS700iQ Add-On Systems, two IX-9 Mail Systems, two Dynamic Envelope Printer systems, associated software and firmware, system integration services, and OEM-certified maintenance and technical support. The period of performance is 22 months: a 10-month base period (August 6, 2026 through June 5, 2027) and one optional 12-month extension (June 6, 2027 through June 5, 2028). Place of performance includes USCIS Western Forms Center and Eastern Forms Center. The Contracting Officer will apply proposal analysis techniques under FAR 15.404-1 to establish fair and reasonable pricing.
