About this opportunity
Immigration and Customs Enforcement awarded a sole-source contract to the Town of Lancaster, New York for rental of secure storage facility services at the Lancaster Police Department on September 14, 2026, under FAR 6.302-1 (only one source reasonably available).
The Buffalo Field Office requires secure storage for Special Response Team (SRT) assets currently held at 525 Pavement Road in Lancaster, NY, where approximately $500,000 in agency assets are stored. The contracting officer determined that the Lancaster Police Department facility is the only source capable of meeting operational requirements within the Buffalo metro area. The facility's proximity to Buffalo-Niagara International Airport (five miles) is critical because SRT is frequently deployed to assist with Enforcement and Removal Operations flights at the airport. Relocating assets to any other secure storage facility would present significant logistical challenges given the need to coordinate pick-up and drop-off between two geographically dispersed ICE/ERO facilities: the Buffalo Field Office in downtown Buffalo and the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility in Batavia, NY. Market research and review of available commercial sources and law enforcement organizations within 10 minutes of the airport confirmed no alternative met the specifications. The contract period runs from September 15, 2026 through September 14, 2031, consisting of a base year and four option years. Place of performance is Lancaster, NY. NAICS 493190 (Other Warehousing and Storage); PSC S215 (Housekeeping—Warehousing/Storage).
Notice text
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Buffalo Field Office requires secure storage for its Special Response Team (SRT) assets. These assets are currently held at the secure storage facility operated by the Town of Lancaster, NY at the Lancaster Police Department (LPD) facility located at 525 Pavement Road in Lancaster, NY. Approximately $500,000.00 of agency assets are stored at this facility. Storing these agency assets at any other secure storage facility in the Buffalo, NY metro area would present a significant logistical challenge with respect to the coordination of the pick-up/drop-off of assets at the two ICE/ERO facilities (Buffalo Field Office in downtown Buffalo and the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility (BFDF) in Batavia, NY) located within the ICE/ERO Buffalo Area of Responsibility (AoR) . It is therefore necessary to continue to utilize the LPD secure facility to store all SRT assets in a central location between the ICE/ERO Buffalo and Batavia facilities. The LPD facility is within close proximity (five miles) of the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport.
Proximity to the airport is required because of the many times SRT is deployed to assist ERO flights at the airport. Based upon the Market Research conducted by ICE/ERO/Buffalo Field Office, and a consideration of available commercial sources and law enforcement organizations within 10 minutes (or around 5 miles) of the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport, the Contracting Officer has determined the Lancaster Police Department (LPD) is the only source that can meet the specifications stated in the Statement of Work (SOW) to provide secure storage for ICE/ERO/Buffalo Field Office SRT assets.
Awarded contract 70CDCR26P00000025 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-09-14.
