In accordance with FAR 5.302, this is a synopsis of award. 

USCIS has awarded the Secure Identification Platform (SIP) contract; a single commercial Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract, inclusive of five (5) one-year ordering periods for a total of 60 months.  The Period of Performance for this IDIQ is 04/01/2021 – 03/31/2026.  The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 325211 – Plastics Material and Resin Manufacturing.

The U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), Office of Intake and Document Production (OIDP), Document Management Division (DMD) requires polycarbonate cardstock that meet the required International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards and contain Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and embedded holographic images.  These cards will be used to produce various immigration benefits, including Permanent Resident Cards (PRC) and Employment Authorization Documentation (EAD) cards, collectively known as the Secure Identification Platform (SIP) requirement. These documents serve as proof of adjudicated benefits or immigrant status and may allow entry into the United States in accordance with the Immigration and Nationality Act. These cards must be highly secure, tamper resistant and difficult to counterfeit.  The requirement is for an estimated 4 million cards annually with the potential to buy as many as 8.5 million cards per year.

USCIS is committed to taking a proactive approach in order to remain ahead of the threat of document tampering and fraud by periodically upgrading and enhancing security features. In addition to the polycarbonate cards, the SIP contract will provide ancillary services to include card design (background artwork and security features), program management support services, technical analysis services, secure storage, and delivery of manufactured card stock.
