ICE Air BPA

Immigration and Customs Enforcement awarded a sole-source BPA modification to CSI Aviation, Inc. for $305,741,520 on July 18, 2026, to provide dedicated flight coordinators supporting ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations mass air transportation.

The requirement spans from July 17, 2026 through March 8, 2029, and covers up to 140 flight coordinators stationed at ICE field offices nationwide and ICE Air Operations hubs. Services include flight manifest preparation and management, flight scheduling coordination, transportation provider coordination, compliance oversight, pre-flight preparations, and real-time logistical problem resolution. Operations require 18-hour daily availability, seven days per week. The award was made under GSA Multiple-Award Schedule authority on a sole-source basis. ICE justified the sole-source approach by asserting CSI Aviation possesses unique specialized expertise in secure air operations, proprietary flight tracking and manifest management systems interoperable with ICE platforms, personnel trained in ICE-specific security protocols and chain-of-custody procedures, and nationwide deployment capability; ICE contends that introducing competing vendors would compromise operational security and create mission delays. The contracting officer and head of contracting activity certified and approved the justification on July 9 and July 16, 2026, respectively. This sole-source justification was posted to SAM.gov for the required 30-day public availability period.
