This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) for Adaptive and Operational Maintenance Support, dated August 14, 2026.

The RFI seeks market research and vendor input to refine acquisition strategy for a consolidated award covering legacy enforcement applications, DevSecOps, Foundry migration and integration support, ERO Data Lake/IDRS operations, reporting, analytics, security, privacy, and special projects. Responses are due August 20, 2026 at 9:00 AM Eastern Time via Microsoft Forms, with questions due August 18, 2026. This is not a solicitation or commitment to contract; all costs for responding are at the vendor's expense. The RFI will inform a Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) that the Government intends to utilize for refining requirements. Submissions become Government property and will not be returned.

The RFI requests vendor information across eight key sections: company details (name, POC, email, phone, UEI, business size classification for NAICS 541519); existing contract vehicles (STARS III, Alliant 2/3, CIO-SP3, GSA MAS/FSS, NASA SEWP, Polaris, VETS 2); socio-economic classifications (8(a), EDWOSB, WOSB, HUBZone, SDB, SDVOSB, VOSB); corporate experience including recommendations for PWS improvements, contract type suitability, required skills and certifications, program management and governance models, transition-in risks, and security/privacy considerations; and up to three similar experience examples with contract details, scope alignment, data lake/analytics environment support, PaaS/SaaS management in law enforcement settings, and labor mix specifications.
