About this opportunity
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations is conducting market research for 24/7/365 ground transportation services across all 254 Texas counties participating in the 287(g) program. The services must include 7-seat SUVs capable of transporting detainees to 36 ICE locations, with a mandated 30-minute response time and 80% operational readiness standard. Key requirements include establishing regional hubs near county jails, employing armed guards during transport, maintaining compliance with National Detention Standards 2025 protocols for medical and gender separation, and adhering to ICE custody guidelines. Vendors must demonstrate capability to support the entire statewide effort or propose a regional approach and explain their flexibility in meeting changing transportation needs. Responses to this Request for Information were due on October 31, 2025, at 12:00 pm ET, submitted via email to designated ICE contracting personnel. This is a market research effort only and does not constitute a binding Request for Proposal or guarantee future contract award. A government response addressing industry questions was provided through Amendment A00001.
This pre-solicitation notice includes no set-aside designation. No incumbent contractor or current contract information is identified in the available documents. The anticipated budget value has not been disclosed in this market research phase. Key operational metrics indicate ICE expects approximately six trips per hub daily, with staffing requirements calculated at nine full-time equivalents per hub to support three shifts. The solicitation requires vendors to achieve full operational capability within six months and specifies that only loaded miles will be billable. Transportation contractors will not possess independent detention authority and must operate exclusively under ICE's custody protocols, with the contract explicitly excluding family and juvenile transports from scope.
