Analytic Support

The contract is for Analytic Support Services under Project SAFEHAVEN, awarded on a sole-source basis to Edge Op, LLC by the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement through the Homeland Security Task Force National Coordination Center in Washington, D.C. The contract is a firm-fixed price agreement valued at $12,212,000 for a one-year base period from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027, with no option periods or extensions specified. The work involves delivering a mission-engineered analytic capability that produces real-time and historical intelligence on threat groups, geolocation data, multi-source device correlation, and pattern-of-life assessments without requiring government personnel to process raw data. The contractor must provide secure, web-accessible outputs compliant with FedRAMP High, Information Impact Level 5, DHS 4300A, and Privacy Act requirements, including a zero-query-retention architecture that ensures no sensitive operational metadata is stored beyond immediate processing. All AI-generated content must be auditable, explainable, clearly labeled, and subject to human-in-the-loop oversight, with strict prohibitions on using AI outputs as sole evidence for enforcement actions. The contractor is required to supply dedicated mission support specialists, conduct comprehensive training for government users, and produce monthly and ad hoc analytical reports, along with detailed technical documentation and full source code to prevent vendor lock-in. The contract imposes extensive cybersecurity and data governance obligations, mandating continuous monitoring, audit logging, and strict compliance with federal AI governance policies. All deliverables are owned by the U.S. Government, and the contractor is barred from using any government-furnished data to train non-governmental systems. Performance occurs primarily from the contractor’s facilities with frequent on-site work at ICE headquarters in Washington, D.C., and all deliverables are accepted digitally within five business days of submission, with deemed acceptance occurring if the government fails to respond. Invoicing is to be submitted monthly using a COR-approved template to the designated finance center, though specific remittance details and accounting codes are not provided. No standard FAR clauses are used in this contract; instead, all terms are custom-written and embedded within the Statement of Work to address AI-specific risks, data rights, transparency, and operational integration. The justification for non-competitive procurement confirms Edge Op, LLC as the only entity capable of fulfilling the unique technical and security requirements, supported by market research confirming no alternative sources exist. The contracting office is located in Irving, Texas, and
