    Description

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), specifically the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), is seeking to modify an existing contract with MVM, Inc. for immigration detention and transportation services in Puerto Rico. This modification, justified under FAR Subsection 6.302-1, will extend the current contract by six months, with an option for an additional six months, totaling $4,676,420.78, due to the time-sensitive nature of the services and the sole-source determination that MVM, Inc. is the only responsible vendor capable of fulfilling the requirements within the necessary timeframe. The anticipated costs are considered fair and reasonable based on historical pricing, and ICE plans to publicize this modification while ensuring that future acquisitions will be competitively awarded. For further inquiries, interested parties may contact Corey A. Soileau at Corey.Soileau@ice.dhs.gov.

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Office of Acquisition Management (OAQ), seeks to modify an existing contract with MVM, Inc. for immigration and detention services in Puerto Rico. This justification for other than full and open competition, authorized under 41 U.S.C. §3304 and FAR Subsection 6.302-1, extends the current contract by six months with an option for an additional six months, totaling $4,676,420.78. The extension is necessary because MVM, Inc. is the sole responsible source due to the time-sensitive nature of the services and the inability for a new vendor to transition within the required timeframe. Previous attempts to solicit proposals for a new contract were unsuccessful. The anticipated cost is deemed fair and reasonable based on historical pricing, with most rates remaining the same or increasing by less than 3%. ICE intends to publicize this modification and will not require subsequent sole-source acquisitions once a new competitively awarded contract is in place.
