PEC picked to support Justice Department immigration review

PEC Solutions Inc. won a $14.1 million contract from the Justice Department's Executive Office for Immigration Review to provide management services and information technology support for all phases of the agency's eWorld project, the company said Thursday. The contract is for one base year plus four one-year options.

The Executive Office for Immigration Review collects information about aliens who appear in immigration courts. The eWorld project, in which several legacy systems will be replaced by a new one that manages immigration case documents, will provide the agency with a streamlined system for processing appeals of orders from immigration judges.

For the eWorld project's four phases, PEC will manage the project and provide system support and maintenance, Web development, database design, integration and administration services. The company also will implement Web-based access to the agency's data and documents, an e-filing system and automatic assembly of case-relate data for judges and other authorities.
