Department of Homeland Security · U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement · INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DIVISION
Account requiredWhy it scored this way

Every reason behind the verdict rather than the headline one — which of your certifications match, how much runway is left, whether the work is your size, and what we would need to know to sharpen it.

Draft the paperwork

Written against this notice and what you have told us about your company. Anything we do not know is marked [NEEDS INPUT] in the draft rather than guessed at — read it before you send it.

Start a free trial to draft these. Nothing is sent to an agency on your behalf, ever — you get a document to review, edit and submit yourself.

Sources Sought response

A complete draft response — capability statement, relevant past performance, business size and socioeconomic status, and answers to the agency's specific questions.

Questions to submit

Genuine ambiguities and requirements that disadvantage a smaller bidder, drafted as questions you can submit before the Q&A deadline.

Past performance write-ups

Which of your prior awards best match this requirement, and draft write-ups in the format the agency asked for.

Statement of work, as posted

This is a Request for Information (RFI) for U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Adaptive and Operational Maintenance Support. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This is not a solicitation announcement. This RFI is solely for market research and planning and information purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a subsequent solicitation (Broad Agency Announcement, Request for Proposal, etc.). This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service. ICE is not seeking proposals at this time. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay any costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party's expense. The information provided in this RFI is subject to change and is not binding on the Government. All submissions become the property of the Government and will not be returned. If you submit proprietary information, you must clearly mark “PROPRIETARY” on every sheet containing such information and segregate the proprietary information to the maximum extent practical from other portions of your response (e.g., use an attachment or exhibit). Respondents are responsible for adequately marking proprietary information in their response. All information received in response to this RFI that is marked “Proprietary” will be handled accordingly. RFI Purpose: This RFI/Sources Sought is seeking information to aid in refining the acquisition strategy, determining if a set aside will be used, contract vehicle selection, and seeking comments and information on the attached Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). Responses to this RFI may be used to identify potential contract vehicles (such as DHS Strategic Sourcing Vehicles, General Services Administration (GSA) contracts, etc.) and determine if this requirement should be set-aside for specific small business classifications. Therefore, while not responding to this RFI does not directly preclude a contractor from participating in a future solicitation, not responding could impact procurement decision that affect a contractor's ability to participate in a future solicitation as a prime contractor. Please note, the Draft PWS is a work in progress. The Government intends to utilize this RFI to refine its requirements. RFI Questions are due August 18, 2026 @ 09:00 AM, Eastern Time to Michelle.L.Taylor@ice.dhs.gov and Michelle.Nedd@ice.dhs.gov. RFI Responses are due August 20, 2026 @ 09:00 AM, Eastern Time via Microsoft Forms at https://forms.cloud.microsoft/g/h7W49zsmQx.
