- Description
- The Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service, plans to competitively procure the services and supplies required to design, develop, build, deploy, and support a system to record the arrivals and departures of visitors to the United States. The system, which will be known as the Entry Exit system, will meet a myriad of architectural, technical, business processes and legislative requirements, and will enable the Government to verify and record the identities of persons who enter and exit the United States by air, land, or sea. Specifically, the system must enable the Government to establish the identity of individuals who intend to visit the United States; verify the identity of those individuals who enter the country, noting if they overstay the terms of their entry documents; and alert government personnel if the individuals are or become identified as national security threats. In that this will be a Government-wide system, the Entry Exit System will have to interface with multiple existing (and potentially future) Government and commercial industry databases. Primary Government users include Departments of Justice, State, Treasury, and Transportation. Vendors will be required to demonstrate interoperability, scalability, security, and evolvability in an open architecture using generally accepted standards and commercial off the shelf (COTS) products to the maximum extent possible. The INS plans to competitively procure the design, development, build, deployment and sustainment of this system through the award of one or more open market indefinite quantity/indefinite delivery contracts under which task orders (e.g., for design, prototype development, and system build) will be awarded on a firm fixed price basis to the maximum extent possible. The contract(s) will be awarded competitively to the offerors who offer the best value to INS, price and other factors considered. The INS plans to issue a formal Request for Proposals for the Entry Exit system in June 2002. The solicitation will be available online. All future information about this acquisition, including solicitation amendments, will be distributed online. Interested parties are responsible for monitoring the FBO site to ensure that they have the most up to date information about this acquisition.
