About this opportunity
Immigration and Customs Enforcement intends to award a sole-source Firm-Fixed Price Blanket Purchase Agreement call order to Zscaler Inc. for brand-name Zero Trust Branch hardware and related implementation support, under a limited sources justification.
ICE justified the sole-source award on the basis that alternative Zero Trust Network Access solutions cannot meet ICE's minimum requirements without replacing or reengineering core elements of the existing operational environment. The requirement encompasses ZTB devices, SD-WAN functionality, segmentation capabilities, licenses, installation, configuration, and vendor support necessary to deploy and maintain infrastructure across ICE locations. The solution must integrate with ICE's existing Zscaler cloud security platform to provide centralized policy management, zero trust access controls, traffic inspection and enforcement, identity-aware and application-aware access enforcement, segmentation, centralized logging and reporting, and compatibility with DHS administrative and monitoring processes. Market research confirmed that non-Zscaler products lack native compatibility and interoperability with ICE's deployed Zscaler architecture and would require significant engineering, reconfiguration, testing, migration planning, and retraining that would increase cost, schedule, cybersecurity, and mission risk.
The procurement is issued under DHS Strategic Sourcing Vehicle Enterprise Licenses Blanket Purchase Agreement 70RTAC26A00000011 through authorized distributor Carahsoft Technology Corporation. The manufacturer, Zscaler Inc., is located in San Jose, California. Contract 70CTD026FC0000052 was awarded on September 28, 2026.
