About this opportunity
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for DevSecOps services to be performed by Highlight Technologies, Inc. under the CIO-SP3 Small Business contract. The extension covers critical IT maintenance and development work from January through June 2025, including updating reception points to Windows 11, developing I-485 form components, implementing automatic biometrics scheduling, and maintaining major agency systems like CMIS, CLAIMS3, and TDPS. USCIS justified the sole-source extension under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C), citing the need to continue essential services while preparing for a competitive recompete under the new RIVER contract scheduled for February 2025. The agency emphasized economy and efficiency, noting Highlight's satisfactory performance since July 2021 and the impracticality of onboarding a new contractor for this short six-month period. While the exact contract value was not specified, the notice indicates the extension will cover a three-month base period with three one-month option periods, ensuring continuity of critical immigration system support.
Notice text
USCIS OCON justified an exception to fair opportunity pursuant to FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C) for the procurement of DevSecOps services to operate and maintain major USCIS systems from Highlight Technologies, Inc in Fairfax VA 22030, under its CIO-SP3 Small Business contract number 75N98119D00020, order number 70SBUR21F00000124.
The extension of non-severable services was necessary to continue the final phase of work updating the reception points to Windows 11 including security certificates, Q-flow sites, user reports, and releases. The work will also continue to develop and deploy parts of the I-485 form. This work, in addition to security maintenance of major USCIS systems, must continue while USCIS proceeds with its competitive.
Highlight has been satisfactorily performing these services since July 2021 and the development teams continue to actively work the priorities outlined above.
Awarded contract 75N98119D00020 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2025-12-30.
