ICE Facility Condition Assessments

The Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for Facility Condition Assessments (FCA) and associated services for its owned facilities. The contract aims to evaluate facility conditions, establish maintenance and repair plans, and extend the lifespan of building assets. The Contractor is expected to develop a collaborative relationship with ICE, focusing on proactive quality management, compliance with American Correctional Association (ACA) standards, and leveraging expertise for program objectives. The scope includes assessing numerous ICE facilities across the U.S. and its territories, organizing real property inventory information, and generating detailed reports on building conditions, costs for repairs, and remaining useful life of systems. A Quality Control Program (QCP) must be implemented to ensure consistent service quality, with regular progress reports and inspections by ICE representatives. Furthermore, contractors must meet strict personnel security requirements, providing certified staff while ensuring effective communication and proper conduct at all times. Overall, this initiative highlights ICE's commitment to maintaining secure, efficient facilities while adhering to safety standards and operational effectiveness within government contracting frameworks.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Acquisition Management has issued a Source Sought Notice to gauge interest and capability among qualified small businesses for conducting Facility Condition Assessments and Real Property Inventory at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) owned locations. This notice serves solely as market research, not a solicitation, and requests responses primarily from small businesses across various classifications, particularly within the engineering services sector, identified under NAICS code 541330. Interested firms must submit a detailed qualification statement, including experiences with similar projects, organizational structure, and a narrative on approach to the project. An electronic copy of the required documents, including Standard Form 330, a letter of interest, and a description of five relevant projects, should be sent to designated DHS contacts by February 18, 2025. The notice clarifies that no contract will result from this survey, and the Government disclaims any responsibility for incurred costs. This initiative reflects the DHS's effort to ensure facility efficacy and accountability through the involvement of small business contractors.
