Updated: Enterprise Remote Document Authentication

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, under the Department of Homeland Security, is preparing to issue a solicitation for an enterprise remote document authentication solution targeted exclusively at small businesses through the NASA SEWP V set-aside program, with an expected release in early June 2026. This requirement seeks a commercial software platform capable of remotely verifying identity and work authorization documents through advanced technologies including high-resolution image capture, Presentation Attack Detection, facial recognition matching, barcode and machine-readable zone authentication, and optical character recognition for structured data extraction. All processing must occur within secure USCIS or approved DHS environments to ensure compliance with federal security and privacy mandates, eliminating reliance on manual, in-person review that hindered accessibility and efficiency for remote users. The system will enable streamlined, accurate, and scalable document verification critical to maintaining program integrity and regulatory compliance across USCIS operations. The NAICS code for this requirement is 541519, and the primary place of performance is Camp Springs, Maryland. The solicitation will be compete without brand-name specifications to encourage broad small business participation. Point of contact for inquiries includes Denise Johnson and Nicholas Barrett, with Scott Stewart serving as the designated Small Business Specialist. The forecast underscores USCIS’s strategic shift toward digital, secure, and remotely accessible identity validation services to modernize its operational framework.
