1.5.1-JA-25-0398 Maritime Support_redact1.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification document from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Acquisition Management for a maritime intelligence system. The document seeks to acquire fifty (50) Agency User Licenses for a multi-source maritime domain awareness and intelligence system from Thompson Reuters Special Services, LLC (TRSS), with a total contract value of $3,561,250.00 covering a 12-month base period and an optional 12-month extension.

The proposed system integrates artificial intelligence, machine learning, and predictive analysis to provide a comprehensive 360-degree maritime domain view. Key capabilities include detecting global navigation satellite system spoofing, identifying dark activities, tracking vessel movements, analyzing economic activities, and providing insights into potential illicit activities such as illegal migrant movements, ship transfers, and military vessel activities. The system will include one full-time Subject Matter Expert and must be web-based, unclassified, and accessible anywhere. TRSS is the sole provider of the Kpler platform, which uniquely meets HSI's specific maritime intelligence requirements.
