About this opportunity
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Office of Acquisitions, Information Technology Division, is seeking market research responses on behalf of the Office of the Chief Information Officer for recruitment, applicant tracking, external applicant portal, and position affordability solutions, with responses due November 23, 2026, 9:30 AM ET. This is an RFI only, not a solicitation, and the Government is under no obligation to issue a solicitation or award a contract. The Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used." Questions are due November 13, 2026, 9:00 AM ET. Respondents bear all response costs.
The RFI covers three capability areas: Talent Acquisition (recruitment planning, vacancy tracking, applicant assessment, and federal hiring workflows); an External Applicant Portal with Human-Centered Design, giving candidates mobile-ready visibility into hiring status across four phases; and Budget-Informed Position Affordability, integrating HR, payroll, and financial data for forecasting, workforce costing, and scenario modeling. Solutions must complement, not replace, current and future ICE and Federal systems and integrate with or operate alongside USA Staffing, USAJOBS, MuleSoft, and Databricks. Respondents may propose a single integrated platform or a combination of products and partner offerings.
Responses require a two-page administrative information table and a 21-page document answering 22 detailed vendor questions. Each capability must be classified as native and currently available, available through standard configuration, available through pre-built connector or partner solution, dependent on third-party products or services, dependent on custom development, planned on the vendor's roadmap, or not available. The RFI also cites FedRAMP authorization, Section 508 accessibility, Cyber-Supply Chain Risk Management with Software Bill of Materials documentation, and Super Intelligence capabilities aligned with Executive Order 13960. Proprietary material must be marked "PROPRIETARY" on each applicable sheet and segregated, and all submissions become Government property and will not be returned.
