The primary objective is to locate deported individuals and those previously unlawfully present in the United States who have since departed, primarily in Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, with potential expansion. Contractors must be U.S.-registered entities capable of conducting enhanced skip-tracing to establish right party contacts and deliver government-approved bilingual flyers to facilitate payment of outstanding civil penalties, fines, and fees through the pay.gov portal. The contract term is estimated from August 14, 2026, through August 13, 2028, with task orders potentially extending up to 12 months beyond the ordering period. Evaluation will be based on a best value trade-off analysis among three equally weighted factors: price, prior experience, and technical approach, with a 10 percent price adjustment applied to non-small business offers. Quotes must include five components—cover letter, price submission, prior experience, technical submission, and subcontracting plan—each subject to strict page limits and submission formats, and must be delivered via email by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 7, 2026, to the designated Contracting Officer. Submission requirements mandate compliance with SAM registration, UEI and CAGE code inclusion, and accurate representation of small business status. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including mandated provisions on ethics, whistleblower rights, trafficking in persons, equal opportunity for veterans and individuals with disabilities, cybersecurity, data privacy, and subcontracting compliance. Contractors must adhere to DHS security standards including HSPD-12, safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information under Alternate I of 3052.240-72, and provide immediate notification and credit monitoring for Personally Identifiable Information incidents. All personnel with access to PII must complete initial and annual DHS privacy training by October 31 each year. Subcontracting plans must include specific, quantifiable goals for small, veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses for both the basic contract and each option period, and must pass a mandatory pass/f
