About this opportunity

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has awarded a sole-source contract modification to Akima Infrastructure Protection, LLC for additional on-call stationary guard support at Port Isabel Detention Center on a sole-source basis under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1).

The justification rests on AIP being the only responsible source capable of immediately providing the required services without operational disruption. ICE contends that deploying multiple contractors at the same facility would create security risks, operational conflicts, and challenges with detainee safety and facility management, particularly given compliance requirements under Performance Based National Detention Standards, National Commission on Correctional Health Care standards, and American Correctional Association standards. The services include escorting and guarding detainees at medical appointments, overnight hospital stays, juvenile and family supervised hotel stays, court hearings, and other ICE-requested locations. AIP's competitive award history, completed transition process, and current onboarded staff support the claim of immediate availability. A notice was posted on sam.gov on June 16, 2026, and one interested vendor responded; the contracting officer maintains that AIP remains the only viable source. The modification covers Option Years 3 and 4 under the existing IDIQ contract 70CDCR22D00000002 (fiscal year 2025-2029 funding period), with funding from the Big Beautiful Bill appropriation. Pricing was determined through comparison to historical prices for similar services. The contract is hybrid Firm Fixed Price and Labor Hour. Place of performance is Port Isabel, Texas.

Notice text

Awarded contract 70CDCR22D00000002 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-09-15.
