R -- ACCESS VERIFICATION INFORMATION SYSTEM TO CONFIRM IMIGRATION STATUS

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is preparing to award a single source purchase order to Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) for access to the Verification Information Systems (VIS). The contract involves CSC providing HUD with confirmation of immigration status information for non-citizen applicants and certain tenants in federally assisted housing programs administered by HUD. CSC is uniquely positioned for this contract as it currently maintains access to the DHS VIS, which is critical for verifying immigration status under this agreement. Interested firms must already have access to the VIS and are required to respond by July 25, 2007, via email to the designated contract specialist, Michael J. Mee. This contract is identified under solicitation number R7P0019 and falls under the NAICS code 928110. The key points of contact for this procurement are Michael J. Mee, the Contract Specialist, and Gay E. Julian, the Contracting Officer, both of whom can be reached through their respective HUD email addresses. The award will ensure that HUD can verify immigration status efficiently to support its federally assisted housing programs.
