- EGIS is the system linking USCIS internal applications to DHS, interagency and external partners
- USCIS wants EGIS III to expand past its integration role into vetting, screening and benefit-integrity work
- Ekagra Partners holds the incumbent contract
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services intends to award a follow-on contract for Enterprise Gateway and Integration Services, or EGIS, the system that links its internal applications to Department of Homeland Security, interagency and external partners. DHS put the estimated value of EGIS III between $50 million and $100 million in a forecast entry updated Wednesday.
The agency is still conducting market research. DHS cautioned that details in the record may change as the acquisition strategy develops.
Immigration systems integration is one strand of the wider homeland security technology mission. The Potomac Officers Club’s 2026 Homeland Security Summit on Nov. 10 will bring together government leaders and industry executives working on those priorities. Register now!
What Would EGIS III Cover?
USCIS wants the next contract to extend beyond its current integration-backbone role. The forecast lists national security vetting and screening of immigration benefit applicants among the mission areas, alongside the protection of the integrity of benefits and work authorization.
Data work makes up much of the rest. USCIS cited advanced data integration, analytics, AI-enabled anomaly detection and decision support. Fraud detection, risk scoring and investigative data workflows appear as separate requirements.
How Is USCIS Planning to Award It?
The agency intends to compete the work as a full small business set-aside. The forecast lists a firm-fixed-price contract placed against a GSA Schedule.
USCIS estimates releasing a solicitation on Jan. 22, 2027, with an award anticipated in the second quarter of fiscal 2027. Work performance would run through May 31, 2031, at Camp Springs, Maryland.
Ekagra Partners holds the incumbent contract.
