Sign Language Interpretation for the Field Operations Directorate

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a component of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), on behalf of the Field Operations Directorate (FOD), is issuing this Sources Sought Notice. The Field Operations Directorate oversees and manages the daily operations of 88 Field Offices across the continental United States, as well as Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. This notice is issued solely for planning purposes in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10 and does not constitute a solicitation or obligation on the part of the Government.

USCIS is seeking information from industry stakeholders regarding their ability to support sign language interpreter services, as outlined in the attached draft Statement of Work (SOW).

Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Responses do not affect a potential offeror's ability to respond to any future synopsis/solicitation that may follow, nor do they restrict the U.S. Government's eventual acquisition approach. Furthermore, the U.S. Government is not obligated to, and will not, reimburse any costs incurred in responding to this notice. Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses associated with their submissions.

Submission Details:
Responses are requested no later than 5:00 PM ET, October 10, 2025, and should be emailed to the Contract Specialist, Marianne Green, at Marianne.Green@uscis.dhs.gov.
