About this opportunity
On March 31, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) awarded a sole-source contract valued at $474,947.20 to The Escal Institute of Advanced Technologies, Inc. (dba SANS Institute) for cybersecurity training and certification services supporting the Treasury Computer Forensics Training Program. The contract deliverables include two sessions of BCERT FOR498 long-course classroom training scheduled for April and July 2026 (24 units each), 48 GIAC Challenge exam vouchers valid for 180 days post-training, 48 OnDemand training bundles, and managed services (2 units) to support Computer Forensics Agents and Analysts from Homeland Security Investigations, the U.S. Secret Service, and Internal Revenue Service. The sole-source procurement was justified based on SANS Institute's exclusive proprietary rights to its curriculum and exclusive authority to certify instructors for official SANS training delivery, with market research conducted between November 2025 and February 2026 confirming that no competing certifications adequately address the specific instructional needs for basic computer evidence recovery required for criminal investigations.
