Updated: Enterprise Remote Document Authentication

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, under the Department of Homeland Security, is forecasting a procurement for an enterprise-level remote document authentication solution targeting small businesses under the SBA set-aside program. This requirement, expected to be released in early June via the NASA SEWP V contract vehicle, will be competed without brand-name specifications to ensure broad market competition. The solution must deliver robust identity verification and document authentication capabilities, including high-quality image capture of identity and work authorization documents, Presentation Attack Detection, facial recognition matching, template and barcode/MRZ authentication, and optical character recognition for structured data extraction. All processing must occur within USCIS or approved DHS environments to ensure compliance with stringent security and privacy standards. The system is designed to replace outdated manual, in-person document review processes that hinder operational efficiency and limit access for remote or distributed users. The platform will integrate with USCIS-controlled microservices to support federal operations and uphold regulatory compliance. The primary place of performance is Camp Springs, Maryland, and key points of contact include Denise Johnson and Nicholas Barrett for general inquiries and Scott Stewart as the Small Business Specialist. This procurement reflects a strategic shift toward digital identity verification to enhance program integrity, improve accessibility, and modernize USCIS service delivery across the nation.
