Each requirement (A, B, and C) will be evaluated independently and in two phases.

Phase I will evaluate a proposed facility(ies) Environmental Assessment. This evaluation will determine whether a proposed location is “sufficient” (Contains sufficient information for ICE to conduct a complete analysis demonstrating an overall understanding of NEPA requirements) or “insufficient” (Environmental Assessment provided lacks understanding of NEPA requirements and would require complete or significant retesting and document generation). If a proposed location’s Environmental Assessment is found to be insufficient, the offeror’s proposed location will no longer be considered for award and proposed location will not move to Phase II. Phase II will evaluate technical, past performance, and pricing proposals. The instructions for this phase will be provided in the RFP.

The Government’s expected plan for evaluation and award is; Requirement A, then Requirement B, then Requirement C. Each requirement is expected to have its own due dates and timelines, which will be clearly defined in the RFP, timelines and deadlines may run concurrently between Requirements. Prospective offerors may propose on any Requirement, and will not be mandated to propose on all three Requirements.

The Government is providing this synopsis early with the understanding that prospective offerors will use this time to initiate development of Environmental Assessments for project proposals consistent with the information provided in this synopsis. Due to the early synopsis release, the time to complete the Environmental Assessment may be limited. The currently anticipated period from RFP release to the due date of the Environmental Assessment for Requirement A will be two weeks, with the following two weeks currently anticipated to be for evaluation of the Environmental Assessments submitted for Requirement A. This anticipated timeline is to maintain the procurement schedule and meet ICE’s mission needs. However, prospective offerors should be aware that the procurement timeline remains subject to change by the Government based on mission needs and other factors.
