viii. Any other additional information required by 5.101(c).

In accordance with FAR 5.101(c)(4)(vii), based on the market research conducted, the Government intends to award this requirement on a noncompetitive basis to Thomson Reuters Special Services, LLC (TRSS). Market research identified commercial sources capable of providing individual or partial capabilities; however, the Government did not identify another source that demonstrated the ability to provide the complete integrated USCIS requirement within the required 30-calendar-day pilot period.

TRSS’s integrated use of CLEAR® Risk Inform/CLEAR Batch with RTIA, Fivecast MATRIX, and specialized analyst/data-scientist support was identified as meeting the Government’s minimum functional requirements. Accordingly, TRSS is the only source identified through market research as capable of satisfying the complete requirement as currently defined.

As part of its market research, the Government reviewed alternative commercial offerings providing similar, adjacent, or partially overlapping capabilities. The Government identified sources capable of providing discrete capabilities, including social-media screening, public-record research, identity intelligence, and investigative data support; however, the Government did not identify another vendor capable of providing the complete integrated capability required for this pilot effort without substantial redevelopment, integration, additional data-access arrangements, schedule risk, performance risk, or loss of required functionality.

In accordance with FAR 5.201(d), this posting shall be published for 7 days (from issuance of Amendment 0001) to allow vendors a reasonable opportunity to respond.
