USCIS requires an unlimited subscription to the AACRAO Electronic Database for Global Education (EDGE) system to support its adjudication officers in determining the validity of foreign applicants' education. The system provides detailed descriptions of educational systems worldwide, including how foreign academic and professional qualifications equate to U.S. standards. EDGE also allows USCIS to request research on qualifications not yet identified in the database. No budget, performance location, or bidding timeline was specified.
