- Description
- Sources Sought Notice The USCIS Document Management Division (DMD) manages the secure identification card personalization systems to personalize secure USCIS cards in a manner that assures efficiency and maximizes security. The current portfolio of secure cards produced within DMD includes the Permanent Resident Card (PRC) and Employment Authorization Document (EAD) Cards. Card Personalization System Technology Refreshment (CPSTR) is a complex card identification system to receive data, personalize and issue cards, and provide systems feedback regarding completion and mailing of cards. The CPSTR system is made up of a combination of custom-developed machines, software and some commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) systems. CPSTR uses an Oracle-based CPSTR server to control data flow into and out of the CPSTR architecture. The server is GFE but programmed/configured by the current contractor. The CPSTR includes data processing, laser etching and robotic technologies, all of which must be properly maintained and repaired in order to reliably produce millions of cards per year which provide proof of immigration status and benefits for millions of people. The maintenance must be regularly performed with corrective action taken immediately in order to reliably produce millions of cards per year which provide proof of immigration status and benefits for millions of people. Without consistent, corrective maintenance the system would become unreliable, vulnerable to failure, and eventually incapable of producing cards. The maintenance must be regularly performed with corrective action taken immediately in order to ensure the CPSTR system is capable of 100% accuracy with the capability of being available to meet production requirements up to 20 hours/day, 6 days/week and 50 weeks/year to produce 120 - 300 cards per hour (depending on card type) and addressing envelope inserts with the correct card recipient address information at a rate of up to 1200 cards per hour.
