- Description
- Description of Requirement The U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC), administers various Foreign Labor Certification programs. Administration of the programs is mandated by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and delineated by regulations in each program published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs). The regulations provide guidance on the processing of applications, periods of validity, and employer responsibilities, etc. The INA directs the Secretary of Labor to certify that there are not sufficient workers who are able, willing, qualified and available and the employment of an alien will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of workers in the United States similarly employed. The regulations of the Department of Labor delineate the specific rules to be followed for each program, which requires labor certification from the Secretary of Labor. The employment-based immigration programs administered by the OFLC are designed to assure that the admission of foreign nationals to work in this country on a permanent or temporary basis will not adversely affect the job opportunities, wages and working conditions of U.S. workers. The OFLC consists of a National Office located in Washington, DC, supported by two National Processing Centers (NPCs) one each in Atlanta, Georgia, Chicago, Illinois and Washington Operations Center, Washington, D.C. The purpose of this five-year(Base year and four Option years), Performance Based Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract is to assist OFLC in the operations support of OFLC programs for conducting case processing activities for admitting foreign nationals under any employment-based permanent or temporary nonimmigrant visa programs.

Further information on OFLC programs and processes can be found at their DOL Web site ( www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov ). The NAICS Code is 518210 - Data Processing, Hosting, and Related Services.
