287(g) Program Outreach, Training, and Support Services

The Department of Homeland Security, through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations, is conducting market research via RFI-OAQ-2026-287(g) to identify potential contractor support for the 287(g) Program. The government is considering a firm-fixed-price contract with a performance period consisting of one base year and two optional one-year extensions. The scope of work focuses on five key task areas: outreach, training, communications, partner engagement, and program management services. Key deliverables include the management of a secure website with 98 percent availability, hosting monthly virtual town halls, maintaining law enforcement agency databases, and coordinating professional liability insurance reimbursements at a rate of 250 dollars per officer per year. The requirement emphasizes strict compliance with DHS security policies, AI security control baselines, and OMB risk management guidance. Contractors must ensure high standards of data ownership and transparency to prevent vendor lock-in, utilizing open standards and APIs. Performance is measured through a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan with specific acceptable quality levels for system uptime and data breach prevention. Administrative requirements include electronic invoicing via the Invoice Processing Portal, mandatory privacy training for all personnel handling personally identifiable information, and the submission of quarterly personnel security reconciliation reports. The place of performance is designated as the contractor's facility, and the government retains the right to inspect facilities and deliverables to ensure adherence to technical and security specifications.
