C-001 - Statement of Work

STATEMENT OF WORK

Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL)

INM ATS-G Operations

1.0 BACKGROUND

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) leads the Department of State’s anticrime and counter-narcotics efforts. INL’s mission is to minimize the impact of international crime and illegal drugs on the United States, its citizens, and partner nations by providing effective foreign assistance and fostering global cooperation. INL supports our partner nations in their efforts towards stabilization and strengthening of their security institutions, infrastructure and technology. In doing so, INL helps to build a global security capacity for combating combat narcotics and human trafficking, and irregular migration, and to strengthen the search, rescue and identification of missing migrants.

During a meeting between CBP and INM in November 2022, it was discovered that the Automated Targeting System Global (ATS-G) was obsolete. The ATS-G, developed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), allows the Mexican immigration authority to verify, in real time, the information of all the people who arrive and leave the country on different international flights, which improves not only national security but that of the entire region.

By rapidly comparing cargo and passenger information against CBP databases and other law enforcement and intelligence records, ATS-G enables the identification of high-risk travelers and shipments that could pose regional or national security threats. This proactive approach strengthens border security, disrupts criminal and terrorist activities, and ensures the efficient flow of legitimate trade and travel—bolstering economic growth while safeguarding national interests.

2.0 SCOPE

Under a binational collaboration, INL Mexico provides the National Migration Institute (INM) support and assistance to combat irregular migration to the United States. This request will provide INM to get the ATS-G system up and running again.

3.0 REQUIREMENTS.
