The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is seeking industry insight to inform the development of a performance-based contract for the next-generation Enterprise Gateway & Integration Services (EGIS III) contract. The contract aims to support national security vetting, immigration benefit integrity, and lawful adjudication outcomes. The EGIS III contract will require comprehensive IT services to design, develop, modernize, enhance, optimize, secure, operate, and maintain a cloud-hosted integration platform for secure information exchange between USCIS systems, DHS components, federal agencies, and authorized external partners. Key areas of focus include:
• National security vetting and evolving immigration policies
• Screening immigration benefit applicants
• Protecting immigration benefits and work authorization integrity
• Advanced data integration, analytics, AI-enabled anomaly detection, and decision support
• Agility, rapid delivery, operational excellence, transparency, and reduced duplication
• Fraud detection, risk scoring, and investigative data workflows
Respondents are expected to provide examples of their corporate experience and past performance in areas such as designing and implementing large-scale microservice platforms, building CI/CD pipelines, securing high-sensitivity systems, and supporting systems that use relational databases and connect to enterprise data lakes.
