LEGAL ACCESS SERVICES FOR REUNIFIED FAMILIES PROGRAM (LASRF)

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION - Legal Access Services for Reunified Families Program (LASRF)

The purpose of this RFI is to conduct market research to identify commercial capabilities that may support a future acquisition for Legal Services, referred to as LASRF.

The U.S. Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), created the Legal Access Services for Reunified Families (LASRF) Program pursuant to the Settlement Agreement in Ms. L., et al. v. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, et al., 18-cv-00428 (S.D. Cal. Oct. 16, 2023) (“Settlement Agreement”).  The LASRF Program is divided into two components: (1) federalized services, including group orientations and group workshops, that EOIR provides, and (2) individualized services, including legal advice and document preparation, that the Contractor provides under this Statement of Work (SOW). EOIR, through the federalized program, also operates a centralized email address and telephone number to receive requests for assistance and to connect eligible individuals to the full range of legal services that are available under the Settlement Agreement.  EOIR refers eligible individuals to the Contractor for individualized assistance.  The Contractor must also accept case referrals from third parties and respond to direct requests from Ms. L. Settlement Class members and Qualifying Additional Family Members seeking the legal services described in Section 7 of this SOW. See the attached SOW for more information.
