About this opportunity
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), an agency within the Department of Homeland Security, issued a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) on January 16, 2026, to extend task order #70SBUR21F00000124 under the CIO-SP3 Small Business Government-Wide Acquisition Contract. The extension awards Highlight Technologies, Inc. a six-month period of performance from January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026, to provide Information Technology Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) services focused on maintaining critical immigration processing systems including CLAIMS3 and Benefits Hub. The justification for the sole source extension cites pending protests on recompete contracts that have prevented transition to new contractors, as well as the contractor's unique capabilities in a complex multi-contractor environment and the critical necessity of ensuring uninterrupted operation of USCIS's immigration processing systems. The work encompasses key initiatives such as revising the I-485 form, implementing automatic biometrics scheduling, decommissioning outdated forms, and enhancing integration with the Electronic Immigration System (ELIS). The specific dollar value of the extension award has not been disclosed in the published notice, though the task order was awarded on January 8, 2026, under the CIO-SP3 GWAC contract #75N98119D00020.
