Request for Information for On-Site Compliance Assessment Support Services

RFI-FY27-ERO-PSPD

This is a request for information (RFI) for the procurement of professional support services for ERO’s Public Safety Partnership Division (PSPD) who oversee the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 287(g) Program. The government requires expertise and experience in a broad range of compliance assessment and oversight support services to carry out its mission. The 287(g) program allows ICE to delegate certain immigration enforcement authorities to state and local law enforcement agencies. Effective oversight is critical to ensure these authorities are used in accordance with federal law, the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), and ICE policy. Physical compliance assessments are a key component of program integrity, civil rights protection, and operational effectiveness. Additional information can be found in the attached draft performance work statement (PWS).

As a part of its market research, DHS is issuing this RFI to determine the estimated number of interested vendors capable of the scope of the requirement delineated in the draft PWS. The Government may use the responses to this RFI for information and planning purposes. The draft PWS describes only the currently contemplated possible scope of the services and is subject to change in the final PWS.

By posting this RFI and draft PWS, ICE hopes to: shorten the time-to-award, thereby delivering capabilities to customers faster; encourage competition by providing interested vendors with an improved understanding of the goal and objectives for the procurement; and increase the likelihood of a successful outcome by refining evaluation techniques to identify the most qualified contractors.

Acquisition Strategy

The acquisition strategy is still under development and is not finalized. The Government is contemplating a commercial Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract. The acquisition strategy will be partially dependent upon the solutions/alternatives presented by interested parties to this RFI. If you have any comments on acquisition strategy, contract type, parent contracts in scope of the PWS, NAICS, and socioeconomic alternatives please include in your responses.
