About this opportunity
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the renewal of annual software maintenance and support entitlements for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Operating System and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) software. The procurement is justified as sole source because only Red Hat products meet ICE's specific technical requirements, including FedRAMP High compliance, automated entitlement registration, comprehensive security features, and compatibility with ICE's existing cloud infrastructure used for mission-critical law enforcement applications. ICE determined that switching to alternative Linux distributions and automation platforms would require significant redesign and reengineering of their systems, with an estimated cost of $330,374,400 for 150 applications, making such alternatives unfeasible from operational and security perspectives. The contract (NNG15SC71B) was awarded on August 12, 2025, through the NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) contract as a firm-fixed-price, 12-month delivery order within the Women Owned Small Business (WOSB) category, though the specific vendor and award amount were not disclosed in the notice. The procurement ensures ICE maintains compliance from security, legal, operational, and contractual perspectives while supporting their complex cloud environments and law enforcement mission requirements.
