It is anticipated that one award will be made for all zones. The service area zones are located along the Mexico-U.S. border in Texas and New Mexico. Prospective offerors shall propose on all zones. The zones are identified as follows: Zone 1 includes Brownsville, Harlingen, McAllen, Texas; (counties of Cameron, Hildalgo, Starr and Willacy); Zone 2 includes Laredo, Texas (counties of Webb and Zapata); Zone 3 includes Eagle Pass and Del Rio, Texas (counties of Val Verde, Kinney, Uvalde, Maverick, Zavala and Dimmit); Zone 4 includes Presidio, Texas (within a 15 mile radius of the town of Presidio); Zone 5 includes El Paso, Texas (Texas counties of El Paso and Hudspeth), and Las Cruces, New Mexico (New Mexico County of Dona Anna); and Zone 6 includes Columbus, New Mexico (New Mexico county of Luna). SSA officials will notify the contractor of the name and address for residency verification. Upon written request, the contractor shall perform an unannounced onsite visit to the claimant's reported address to verify residency, contact one non-relative neighbor who has first hand knowledge of individual's residence and submit a written report documenting the results. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) code is 561611 and the business size standard is $12.5 million.

The contract period will be for a base year and 3 option years. To receive award, the offeror must have performed in a successful business which has provided private investigative services for a minimum of three years.
