DESCRIPTION:
The Legal Access at the Border (LAB) program is offered through the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The purpose of this program is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of EOIR Immigration Court proceedings by providing legal services to noncitizens who are processed for enrollment into the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) along the U.S. Southwest Border. The objective of the LAB is to provide legal services to interested MPP enrollees held in DHS custody as soon as feasible following their enrollment in the MPP. In the event MPP is terminated, the Government has the discretion to redirect available funding in consultation with the Contractor to provide alternative services for recent border arrivals, subject to operational considerations and need, through the end of the period of performance. The legal services (“LAB services”) will include legal information and presentations (legal orientation) about:
- Options and procedures related to remaining in the United States during the pendency of removal proceedings, such as the non-refoulement interview (NRI) before U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS); and
- Immigration court practices and procedures, relief and protection from removal, and other relevant resources.
EOIR shall conduct an Industry Day/Virtual Question and Answer (Q&A) session to address interested vendors on Wednesday, May 11, 2022, from 1:00pm to 2:00pm (EST). Interested vendors shall provide their contact information (Vendor Name; Point of Contact; Contact phone/e-mail), as well as written questions, to patricia.hoffman@usdoj.gov and james.driscoll@usdoj.gov on or before Monday, May 9, 2022 at Noon (EST). Please reference "LABRFI05032022" in the subject line.
The RFI closes Wednesday, May 18, 2022 at Noon (EST). Responses to the RFI shall be emailed to patricia.hoffman@usdoj.gov and james.driscoll@usdoj.gov.
