Background/Introduction OCIO developed and implemented SEVIS, an e-gov Internet and ICE intranet-based system, to electronically track and monitor all legally admitted non-immigrant, alien-students pursuing an education in the United States at an SEVP-approved school. SEVP provides available information on non-immigrant student and exchange visitors participating in authorized scientific, educational and cultural exchanges to various Government agencies. SEVIS was developed and implemented in July 2002 and became fully operational in February 2003. SEVIS is a product of the post-9/11 global terrorism environment and is one of the early success stories of DHS. SEVIS data is accessible throughout the DHS via the Intranet, to schools via the Internet and worldwide to overseas Department of State (DoS) Consular posts via established interfaces. 2. Scope Under the EAGLE Ordering Guide, this SOW solicitation falls under Functional Category 4 Software Development. The purpose of this SOW is to acquire information technology (IT) support to maintain and enhance the SEVIS software application. It is expected that the technical services acquired will ensure that the applications are maintained and enhanced, in compliance with agency architecture standards. Agency initiatives, often unplanned, may also impact technical support requirements. The application maintenance/ enhancement activities involved are generally those common to the support of any ICE OCIO system; e.g. identify and correct flaws in the software, incorporate additional functionality to meet new business processes and revise the structure to comply with changing technology requirements. These activities include analysis, design, development, documentation, configuration management, quality assurance, testing and implementation support. 3.
