About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking a License Service Provider (LSP) to provide comprehensive legal services for unaccompanied children in Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) care. The contractor will be responsible for conducting Know Your Rights presentations, performing legal screenings, providing legal representation, and tracking program performance across various U.S. geographic sectors. Key contract objectives include informing children about their legal rights, identifying potential immigration relief options, and facilitating legal assistance through developmentally appropriate and culturally competent methods. The evaluation will likely focus on contractors' capabilities to handle up to 80,000 cases annually, provide national or regional coverage, demonstrate expertise in child welfare and immigration services, and offer bilingual support. The pre-solicitation notice indicates a request for information (RFI) posted on January 22, 2025, with interested contractors required to complete a GSA feedback survey to participate in market research.
The contract does not have a specific set-aside designation and is open to qualified legal service providers. The contract period includes a 12-month base period from March 29, 2026, to March 28, 2027, with potential four 12-month option periods extending through March 28, 2030. The federal cost limit is estimated at $8,500 per case, with a hybrid pricing structure combining Firm-Fixed-Price for Know Your Rights presentations and legal screenings and Time & Materials for direct representation services. The contractor will be expected to prioritize representation for vulnerable children, such as those under 13 years old or trafficking victims, and leverage pro bono attorney networks to maximize service delivery. Primary work locations will include ORR shelter facilities and immigration courts throughout the continental United States, with an emphasis on recruiting bilingual legal professionals and utilizing technological solutions to facilitate communication with children and program staff.
