This is a sources sought notice for Medical Doctor Subject Expert (SME) Services to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL). DHS and CRCL are looking for Medical Doctor SME Services. The purpose of this notice is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities and qualifications of business to compete and perform service under a contract for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL). The type of solicitation and contract to be issued will depend upon the responses to this sources sought synopsis. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL), is responsible for investigating complaints filed pursuant to 6 U.S.C. § 345 and 42 U.S.C. § 2000-ee-1, alleging abuses of civil rights, civil liberties, and racial and ethnic profiling by DHS employees and officials, as well as contractors used by DHS Components. CRCL’s Compliance Branch is responsible for investigating these complaints. CRCL is also charged with overseeing compliance with constitutional, statutory, regulatory, policy, and other requirements relating to the civil rights and civil liberties of individuals affected by DHS programs and activities. The purpose of this contemplated contract is to obtain Medical Doctor Subject Matter Expert (SME) Services to assist CRCL in performing its investigatory and oversight functions. The selected subject matter expert shall primarily assist CRCL in conducting investigations involving medical issues in immigration detention facilities used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which shall include preparing reports related to the investigations. CRCL cannot accurately predict the locations nor the number of facilities that may require onsite reviews because it depends on the complaints received. The expert may also be asked to assist CRCL with other CRCL matters related to medical care, including reviews initiated by DHS leadership, consulting with substantive work groups, providing training, and other activities as requested.
