Request for Information - 70SBUR26I00000010 -Digital Immigration Document Solution - Office of Intake and Document Production

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Office of Intake and Document Production, is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI 70SBUR26I00000010) to identify industry capabilities and best practices for developing secure digital credentials that will serve as digital analogues to physical immigration documents such as Employment Authorization Documents and Permanent Resident Cards. Responses are due by April 6, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST. USCIS is seeking information on two primary technical approaches: mobile driver's license (mDL)-style mobile identity solutions and general-purpose verifiable credential frameworks such as W3C Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identifiers, as well as hybrid approaches. Key requirements for proposed solutions include support for FIPS-validated cryptographic modules, FedRAMP authorization, Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, DHS and USCIS security policies, online and offline verification capabilities, selective attribute disclosure, and scalability to millions of users. This is a non-binding market research exercise issued under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 10, and responses will be used to inform future acquisition strategies and refine agency requirements.

This RFI is issued without any small business set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractors or current award values are identified, as this is a pre-solicitation information-gathering phase rather than an active procurement. Respondents should provide company information including legal name, SAM UEI, and designated points of contact, with responses limited to 25 pages excluding cover pages and appendices in PDF or Word format. Submissions should be directed to Nicholas.R.Posey@uscis.dhs.gov and Carl.F.Prosack@uscis.dhs.gov, with secondary contacts listed as Joshua.S.Riley@uscis.dhs.gov and Andrea.K.Cline2@uscis.dhs.gov. USCIS will not reimburse response costs, will not provide notification of review results to respondents, and reserves the right to contact respondents for clarification or follow-up discussions. While no specific award timeline is stated, this RFI represents an early stage in the acquisition process, with a potential future solicitation expected to follow based on the agency's receipt and analysis of market research responses.
