287(g) Program - Outreach and Implementation Program Management

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to identify vendors capable of providing outreach and implementation program management services for the 287(g) Program nationwide. The primary objective is to secure a contractor to conduct statewide outreach and communications support to all 287(g) program participants across the United States, including training for Sheriff's Departments on program participation. Key requirements include developing and deploying vendor-selected communications tools and platforms, creating outreach messaging and marketing materials, engaging all Sheriff's Departments proactively regardless of current Memoranda of Agreement status, and delivering training through flexible modalities (virtual, in-person, or hybrid) using ICE-provided curriculum. Respondents must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), provide comprehensive responses addressing six specific capability questions, submit no more than 20 pages, and include detailed cover letters with company information, procurement vehicle eligibility, and contracting/technical points of contact. The deadline for vendor questions was January 30, 2026, with RFI responses initially due February 6, 2026, but subsequently extended to February 10, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time.

This RFI represents a market research effort only and carries no set-aside designations. No incumbent contractor or potential award value is specified in the solicitation materials, as this is preliminary research to gauge vendor capability and market interest rather than a formal contract award announcement. The contract, when issued, will be FAR-based and limited strictly to outreach and communication services, with ICE retaining sole authority over reimbursement distribution to participating law enforcement agencies at pre-agreed rates. Vendors must maintain basic personal liability insurance and may work individually or as part of a collaborative group to deliver services. All submission costs are the responsibility of interested vendors, and submissions become government property upon receipt. The government reserves the right to conduct follow-up meetings with vendors providing comprehensive responses to inform subsequent solicitation development.
