Description

To our Industry Partners: As you may know, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had a significant impact on USCIS� financial outlook. �Since the declaration of the national emergency, USCIS� operations and source of revenue has been severely impacted.� The revenue USCIS receives through fees paid by applicants and petitioners for immigration benefit requests has suffered an unprecedented decline.� Consequently, this has affected our operations and performance. � What does this mean for current contracts and future contracting opportunities? �USCIS must ensure mission critical operations continue and funds are prioritized for our employee payroll.� Considering this, USCIS is reviewing its entire contract portfolio and future requirements to prioritize those that provide the most critical mission essential services.� As a result, industry partners can expect reductions or cancellations of future contract actions (both new starts and re-compete actions), as well as reductions in scope of current contracts, future options not being exercised or negotiated to reduce scope, and terminations for convenience being issued. USCIS leadership is exploring all possible opportunities to curtail spending where necessary.� As decisions are made on contract actions, USCIS� Contracting Officers will be coordinating with the affected contractors. USCIS will continue to communicate with our industry partners on our financial situation and how it will and may impact contract opportunities through sources such as (beta.sam.gov, and our external facing website https://www.uscis.gov/uscis-contracting).� We will update applicable opportunities in DHS�s Acquisition Planning Forecast System (APFS, apfs.dhs.gov) of any changes to future requirements, and will provide any and all updates at our next quarterly conference call with industry, which is scheduled for July 28, 2020.� These are trying and unprecedented times for USCIS. �We certainly appreciate your collaboration and understanding as we partner to overcome our fiscal challenges and continue to delivery on USCIS� mission.� We will keep you abreast of any new developments and, as always, are fully committed to timely, honest, and transparent communications with our valued industry partners. �
