Public Voter File Acquisition and Handling

Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a request for information (RFI) on August 25, 2026, closing August 28, 2026, regarding acquisition and secure delivery of publicly available voter registration and voter history files to support Homeland Security Investigations fraud detection and data segmentation activities. This RFI is for market research only and does not commit the Government to issue a subsequent solicitation or contract. The Government will not reimburse response costs.

ICE seeks contractor capability to acquire voter files annually from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and other Government-designated jurisdictions, initiating acquisition requests and delivering completed files within specified business day windows. Deliverables include voter registration and history files, chain of custody documentation, file integrity documentation with cryptographic hash values, technical specifications, and documentation of unavailable files or access restrictions. All files must be delivered via secure electronic means using Government-approved encryption.

Contractors must establish documented chain of custody from initial acquisition through delivery, implement security controls consistent with DHS requirements including role-based access, strong authentication, and audit logs, and comply with a Dual-Hash "Parent-Child" Protocol that strips party affiliation data fields unless explicitly directed in writing by the Contracting Officer. Party data shall not be prioritized or sequenced based on political characteristics. DHS will provide Government authorization letters to states where law restricts commercial data access but permits law enforcement use.

Responses must be submitted via Microsoft Forms only; email submissions and general marketing material will not be accepted. All submissions become Government property and will not be returned.
