PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Modular Buildings

September 25, 2026

Introduction

Due to exceptionally high operational tempo with increased arrests, several Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) offices and sub-offices have exceeded their organic processing and temporary holding capabilities and new requirements have emerged to increase standalone Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) hearing sites. Temporary infrastructure is urgently needed to expand secure processing and holding of illegal alien (IA) capacity and non-detained hearing space on site.

Work Requirements

The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment and services necessary to deliver, install and maintain modular operational spaces at the ERO offices in various locations across the country. At present the number of sites is estimated at 50, though this number is subject to change.

The contractor must work with ICE Office of Asset and Facilities Management and the General Services Administration to coordinate approval for the installation of the modular units in a manner that is acceptable with the building owner at the specific sites. This will require different levels of effort and installation configuration (e.g., whether power or water is available and how best to tie in) for each site. The contractor shall provide the necessary technical and logistics support to facilitate the needed work for each location identified.

The following units shall be available for installation at each location as specified by the Government for the site:

Field Detention Unit:

The contractor shall provide temporary modular secure holding and processing infrastructure that can be placed and operated behind existing security fencing. This shall include an operating modular unit of approximately 900 sf in size. The unit must already be designed for the intended purpose of secure holding and processing of detained individuals.

Additional requirements must be met:

• Counter-style processing space that is in a separate space from the secure holding area.

• Furnished with furniture for operational purposes defined

• Climate controlled space of sufficient size and rating to support the area of space and the personnel loading anticipated.

• Infrastructure placed behind existing security fencing on existing asphalt or concrete surface.

• Infrastructure rated and installed to meet local building codes for wind speeds.

• Access to units provided with ADA entry ramps

Interview Processing Unit:

The contractor shall provide temporary modular secure unit that can be placed and operated behind existing security fencing. This shall include one operating modular unit of approximately 300 sf in size. The unit must already be designed for the intended purpose of secure interviewing and processing of detained individuals.

Additional requirements must be met:

• Furnished with furniture for operational purposes defined

• Climate controlled space of sufficient size and rating to support the area of space and the personnel loading anticipated.

• Access to units provided with ADA entry ramps

Virtual Immigration Court Unit:

The contractor shall provide temporary modular secure unit that can be placed and operated outside existing security fencing. This shall include one operating modular unit of approximately 60 sf in size. The unit must already be designed for the intended purpose of secure EIOR hearings.

Additional requirements must be met:

• Furnished with furniture for operational purposes defined

• Climate controlled space of sufficient size and rating to support the area of space and the personnel loading anticipated.

• Modular units connected to grid power by contractor or serviced by generator with the contractor fueling and maintaining the generator for length of contract.

• Access to units provided with ADA entry ramps

Maintenance of the Units: The contractor shall provide routine preventative and corrective maintenance to ensure the units are functioning properly and operational throughout the contract period. This shall include:

• Monthly inspection of unit condition, HVAC, lighting, secure hardware, ramps, tie-down components, plumbing interfaces, and visible utility connections.

• Generator preventive maintenance every 500 operating hours when a generator is required.

• Service-call intake, triage, dispatch coordination, repair documentation, and closure confirmation.

• Deficiency tracking and escalation for conditions that affect safety, security, sanitation, or mission availability.

Unless otherwise specified, all plans, schedules, an procedures shall be developed by the service provider and submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for review prior to installation of modular units. The COR shall have the opportunity to review the service provider’s plans and procedures for compliance with the contract. The COR may seek clarifications, if necessary. Any requested changes shall be negotiated and agreed upon. After COR review, the service provider is authorized to use its policies and procedures in conjunction with Standards mandated under this contract. The COR will not review the service provider’s policies and procedures for compliance with law or regulation, nor will the COR approve the service provider’s policies and procedures beyond the minimum requirements as required by the contract. Once the review has occurred, these plans, policies, and procedures shall not be modified without the prior written acknowledgment of the COR.

The service provider is prohibited from making modifications to any existing facilities at the facility location without prior notice of the CO and COR.
