About this opportunity
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has awarded a sole-source IDIQ contract to The GEO Group Inc. for comprehensive detention services at the Winton Processing Center on July 29, 2026, with an estimated total value of $457.091 million.
ICE justifies the sole-source award under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) based on unique geographic requirements and urgent need. The facility must be located within 150 miles of Richmond International Airport and accommodate up to 1,500 detainees. Market research via RFI posted on SAM.gov on May 28, 2025 received seven responses; only GEO Group's proposed Rivers Correctional Facility, located 105 miles from Richmond International Airport, met all requirements and could achieve full operational status within the required three-month timeline. Alternative proposals, including Augusta Correctional Center, were deemed infeasible due to extensive renovation needs and extended timelines.
The contract spans five years (2025–2029) with year-by-year funding: $79.44 million (Year 1), $90.16 million (Year 2), $93.85 million (Year 3), $95.72 million (Year 4), and $97.92 million (Year 5). Services include housing, guards, meals, medical care, and transportation. Task orders utilize hybrid firm-fixed-price and labor-hour pricing. The contracting officer determined anticipated costs are fair and reasonable based on historical pricing for comparable ICE detention facilities. Funding is classified as Operations and Support from multi-year 2025–2029 appropriations. The urgent need stems from increased enforcement priorities established by recent Executive Orders, targeting approximately 60,000 additional detention beds government-wide.
