Quick Summary
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), under the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for an extension of Task Order No. 70SBUR22F00000197. This extension is for Outcome-Based Delivery and Development, Security, and Operations Services III (ODOS III), awarded to Alpha Omega Integration, LLC. The purpose is to ensure the continued maintenance and security of critical USCIS systems, including the Electronic Immigration System (ELIS) and the Global enterprise case management system, until a new competitive procurement (ODOS 3.1) is finalized and transitioned. This action is pursuant to FAR 16.507-6(f).

- Development of D1/D2 initiatives to process categories of I-131 and I-485 forms and High Value Questions.
- Maintenance of the Refugee, Asylum, and International Operations Directorate (RAIO) primary case management system.

Evaluation
This is a justification for a sole source extension, not a solicitation for new offers. Therefore, submission and evaluation criteria are not applicable.
Additional Notes
The extension is necessitated by unforeseen delays in the succeeding competitive procurement (ODOS 3.1). Alpha Omega Integration, LLC was identified as the only awardee capable of providing the unique and specialized services required at the necessary quality level within the specified timeframe. The government determined the anticipated cost for this extension to be fair and reasonable. USCIS intends to post this requirement on SAM.gov, which this JEFO fulfills.
