A single ordering-period award covers maintenance, optional testing, and consumables for the card personalization system at two USCIS production sites. [S1]
Specifying engineers can use the award scope to align preventive-maintenance schedules, consumable qualification, and optional testing language with an active federal vehicle. [S1]
Award Scope and Geography
The title restricts the work to maintenance, optional testing, and consumables for the Card Personalization System Technology Refreshment, or CPSTR. Geography is limited to the USCIS production facilities in Corbin, Kentucky, and Lees Summit, Missouri. Specifiers should treat the scope as site-specific, not enterprise-wide, and verify facility inclusion before mapping the contract to internal maintenance plans. [S1]
The contract identifier on USAspending points to a parent IDV with a child ordering period, which is consistent with a multi-period ordering vehicle rather than a one-off purchase order. [S1]
What the Award Buys
The award covers three distinct deliverable classes. Maintenance is recurring service tied to the personalization system. Optional testing is a separable line item, useful when a site needs acceptance, regression, or post-refresh verification outside the maintenance cadence. Consumables are the third class, which typically drives the recurring spend profile for personalization lines. [S1]
Treating these as independent lines allows engineers to scope change without disturbing the others. A consumable substitution, for example, can be processed without re-baselining the maintenance statement of work. [S1]
Procurement Vehicle and Term Signals
The title uses the phrase Ordering Period One, indicating the parent IDV supports sequential ordering periods. Each ordering period is a separate child action with its own performance start, which lets the agency pace spend and lets vendors forecast. [S1]
The NAICS-aligned term recorded on USAspending is industrial machinery, which is consistent with field service and parts supply for a capital equipment line rather than a pure services NAICS. Specifiers should expect task orders or delivery orders under the IDV to carry period-specific ceilings and option years. [S1]
Practical Implications for Specifying Engineers
For preventive-maintenance authoring, mirror the three-line structure: labor and travel, optional testing hours, and consumable kits. This keeps optional testing as a clearly priced alternate that the contracting officer can exercise without re-scoping the maintenance task. [S1]
For consumable qualification, expect change control to flow through the IDV rather than a new solicitation. Build a qualification checklist into your technical direction so that any substituted consumable is compared against the originally approved part on dimensions relevant to personalization throughput and durability. [S1]
For program managers, the named facility pair signals that other USCIS sites are out of scope under this ordering period. Coverage at additional sites would require a separate ordering period or a separate vehicle, and should be planned rather than assumed. [S1]
