R -- INTEGRATED INTERIOR ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES SOL HQ-97-08 DUE 022897 POC John Young, Contracting Officer, (202) 514-2919. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), Office of Programs, is conducting a market survey and search for potential sources. It invites interested contractors to submit their qualification statements for professional services, with expertise in federal, state and local law enforcement, immigration issues, and the implementation of quality management techniques which may assist INS in carrying out its interior enforcement mission. INS is considering award of a delivery order under GSA Schedule No. 874, Quality Management Services. It seeks contractors, particularly those holding contracts under this GSA schedule, that are capable of conducting a study to analyze and present options and recommendations for a comprehensive, integrated, interior enforcement strategy to complement the existing INS border control strategy. The study is to be based on the framework of the Department of Justice and INS strategic plans. It is to encompass policy analysis, mission-based organizational analysis, program strategies and tactics, the cooperative enforcement requirements of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, as well as other law enforcement and public expectations regarding immigration enforcement activity in the interior of the United States. -- The contractor must demonstrate expertise in applying the following skills: research; knowledge of and experience with law enforcement agencies, their missions and operations; organizational analysis; qualitative and quantitative analysis in demographic, economic and political arenas; statistical identification and measurements; and facilitation of information acquisition. -- INS anticipates that this project will involve travel to approximately five INS field offices, with each trip lasting from two to four days. The contractor will be expected to facilitate three meetings one with an INS team of 10-15 persons, a second with a group of external ``stakeholders,'' and a third with both groups combined. The time frame for completion of the delivery order requirements will be six months from date of award. -- The required product/deliverable will be a report presented in terms of prioritized enforcement functions,geographic areas and time lines. The report should address (1) the organizational placement of enforcement functions along mission lines; (2) a systematic approach to the appropriate mix of resources and functions in critical locations, including staffing; (3) the social, economic and public policy implications of an integrated interior enforcement strategy; and (4) include performance benchmarks for analyzing the strategy's effectiveness. -- Interested parties should submit a capability statement, including a copy of their current GSA schedule contract (if applicable), and any relevant past performance data or references, to the Contract Officer at the address listed above. This is NOT a request for proposals. NO solicitation document exists. Requests for copies of a solicitation will not be acknowledged. Written responses are due no later than February 28, 1997, in order to insure consideration. (0049)
