About this file
This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the acquisition of cellphone services for the DHS/ICE Vetted Unit in El Salvador. The Vetted Unit is composed of local National Police (PNC) officers, and they are required to use the same network provider as the PNC, which is Claro S.A. de C.V. DHS/ICE has an active contract for 67 cellphone lines under Purchase Order 19ES6023P1127 that expires on August 31, 2024. This J&A cites the statutory authority under 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) - only one responsible source, to justify the limited/sole source procurement from Claro. The key requirement is to maintain communications interoperability between the Vetted Unit and the rest of the PNC units for criminal and civil case investigation activities.
