National Qualified Representative ProgramThe National Qualified Representative Program solicitation under contract number 15JPSS26Q00000059 seeks a contractor to deliver comprehensive legal services to unrepresented, detained individuals deemed incompetent to represent themselves in immigration proceedings by an Immigration Judge or the Board of Immigration Appeals. The contractor must provide qualified legal representatives, interpretation services in the respondents’ native languages, and the ability to retain third-party experts as needed, ensuring full access to legal representation regardless of language or complexity of case. All work must adhere to the highest industry standards for legal services and is governed by a detailed Performance Work Statement and Performance Requirement Standards, with performance occurring nationwide at detention facilities, immigration courts, and other designated sites. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price award with a base period from August 1, 2026, to July 31, 2027, and four one-year optional periods extending through July 31, 2031, with a possible six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8. The solicitation requires proposals to be submitted in three separate volumes—Technical and Management Approach, Price, and Past Performance—with strict formatting guidelines, including Times New Roman 12-point font, single spacing, and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets for pricing data. Proposals must remain valid for 120 days after the submission deadline, which has been extended to August 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The evaluation process is based on a best value tradeoff analysis, where technical approach, management approach, and past performance are significantly more important than price, although price will be decisive if technical competence among offerors is approximately equal. A subcontracting plan is a pass-fail gate, and failure to submit an acceptable plan renders an offeror ineligible. All contractors must be registered in SAM with an active Unique Entity ID and Tax Identification Number, and must comply with numerous FAR clauses addressing anti-kickback procedures, contingent fees, whistleblower rights, and organizational conflict of interest disclosures. Contract administration requires compliance with strict invoicing protocols, including monthly electronic submissions with detailed line-item descriptions, contract and order identifiers, and no inclusion of sensitive PII without explicit approval. Payment will be made via Electronic Funds Transfer upon certification by the Contracting Officer’s Representative after formal acceptance of deliverables. Contractors must implement robust information security protocols under FISMA, NIST SP 800-53, and Privacy Act
