Jim Driscoll

James Driscoll serves as a key procurement professional within the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), supporting the Department of Justice’s mission to ensure fair and efficient adjudication of immigration proceedings. He manages acquisitions critical to the operational integrity of the nation’s immigration court system, with a focus on legal services, judicial training, and administrative support. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts that enhance due process, expand access to legal counsel for noncitizens, and modernize court administration through qualified service providers. Driscoll typically handles requirements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for professional, management, and technical services aligned with EOIR’s core functions. His contractor relationships center on legal service providers, training organizations, and professional associations that deliver expert counsel, immigration law education, and operational support to immigration judges and staff. While no specific vendors are identified, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms specializing in legal representation, immigration policy training, and mental health services for court personnel. He cultivates partnerships with both large institutional providers and small businesses capable of delivering specialized, mission-critical services under time-sensitive judicial timelines. Driscoll’s contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 90% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he consistently allocates 10% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation. While no specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone are predominant, his approach supports broad-based small business engagement in support of EOIR’s operational needs. His primary NAICS focus includes Professional and Management Development Training (611430), Legal Counsel and Prosecution (922130), and Offices of Lawyers (541110), underscoring his expertise in acquiring legal education, court administration, and attorney services. He also procures mental health support (621112) and professional organization services (813920), indicating a holistic approach to sustaining the well-being and competency of immigration court staff and adjudicators.
