This is a Limited Sources Justification document from ICE's Office of Acquisition Management for a sole-source task order to CSI Aviation Inc. for charter flight services. The requirement is for Daily Schedule Large Aircraft (DSLA) and Special High Risk Charter flights for deportation operations, with a base period of 6 months and two 3-month option periods.

ICE is awarding this sole-source contract to CSI Aviation, the incumbent contractor, due to ongoing protest litigation at the Court of Federal Claims regarding a newly awarded contract (BPA No. 70CDCR24A00000001). CSI's current contract expires February 28, 2025, and ICE received notification of protest filing on February 18, 2025. The justification cites CSI as uniquely qualified to continue services without interruption, having the necessary infrastructure and workforce in place. The services support ICE Air Operations' mission of removing individuals from the U.S. under Executive Order 14159 requirements. The contracting officer determined this represents the best value based on GSA schedule pricing rates, and DHS will post this requirement on SAM.gov per FAR requirements.
