DHS Analysis Tool Licenses & Support Services

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), under the Department of Homeland Security, awarded a sole-source Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order for the DHS Analysis Tool licenses and support services to Empirical Corporation, the exclusive owner and developer of the proprietary accounting reconciliation and financial close system. This procurement, conducted under FAR Subpart 6.103-1, was justified on the grounds that no other vendor can provide the tool due to its unique, non-replicable design and deep integration with the legacy Federal Financial Management System (FFMS), which is critical for maintaining audit readiness, financial reporting accuracy, and compliance with the CFO Act and DHS Financial Accountability Act. The contract supports USCIS’s Office of the Chief Financial Officer through a 12-month period from June 14, 2025, to June 13, 2026, during which Empirical Corporation will deliver 25 user licenses and provide ongoing technical support, general ledger balancing, data feed monitoring, regulatory compliance assistance, and migration planning services to facilitate the eventual transition to SAP S4/HANA. Performance is based at Camp Springs, Maryland, where the system is deployed and used operationally, and acceptance is the responsibility of the government, ensuring the tool meets mission-critical financial integrity standards. No competitive evaluation factors were applicable, as there are no alternative suppliers, and the pricing, while based on historical actuals adjusted for inflation, is not publicly disclosed. The contract contains no specified packaging, labeling, or military standards, as the deliverables are software and services, not physical goods. Funding is drawn from FY2026 Operations and Support appropriations, and the contract will terminate upon completion of the SAP migration, with no formal option periods or extensions authorized. Empirical Corporation is confirmed as a U.S.-based vendor compliant with the Buy American Act, and while no socioeconomic certifications or key personnel clauses are listed, the vendor’s proprietary expertise is indispensable to continued financial operations. The contracting officer, Waynette A. Goodman, digitally signed the purchase order on June 12, 2026, and the award was posted to SAM.gov on June 26, 2026.
