About this opportunity
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a component of the Department of Homeland Security, published a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) on January 16, 2026, to extend task order #70SBUR21F00000123 under the CIO-SP3 Small Business GWAC. The extension awards Ekagra Partners, LLC a six-month period of performance from January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026, to continue providing DevSecOps services and enterprise delivery support for critical USCIS systems including Benefits Hub, Enterprise Print Management Service, Interim Case Management System, and CLAIMS3. The sole source justification is based on ongoing protest delays in the competitive recompete process and the complexity of maintaining service quality across the multi-contractor development environment, with the government determining that Ekagra is the only contractor capable of sustaining required service levels without risking disruption. Key work activities during the extension include developing I-829 system capacity, resolving form editing and notice duplication issues, completing Benefits Hub asset migration to Figma, and managing form digitization efforts. While the specific dollar value of the extension is not disclosed in the opportunity notice, the extension represents a critical interim solution to maintain continuity of operations for essential immigration services systems pending completion of the full recompetition process.
