What the agency is buying and why a vendor would care
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), specifically U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Health Service Corps (IHSC), plans to modify an existing sole-source contract with Acentra Health, LLC. This modification is for continued medical claims processing support.
While this is not a solicitation for new bids, it is an opportunity for other businesses to demonstrate their capability to provide similar services. If your firm specializes in medical claims processing or related computing infrastructure services, responding to this notice could help DHS consider competitive options for future requirements.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline for submitting information is September 25, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. All submissions must be received by this time.
After the deadline, DHS will review the information received. This information will be used to determine if a competitive procurement would be in the government's best interest for future needs. The government reserves the right to proceed with the sole-source award regardless of responses.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is best suited for firms that provide computing infrastructure, data processing, web hosting, and related services, particularly those with experience in medical claims processing. The identified NAICS code is 518210.
If your company has a proven track record in these areas and believes it can meet the requirements within the necessary timeframe, you should consider responding to this notice of intent.
How to respond
To respond, you must submit your information by email to [email protected]. No telephone communications will be entertained.
The subject line of your email must state: “Response to Notice of Intent 70CDCR26C00000002 – Medical Claims Sole Source Modification”. All submitted information should clearly support your firm's capability to provide the required supplies and services and must be furnished at no cost to the government.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is not a request for proposals, your response should clearly articulate your firm's capabilities. Focus on specific examples of past performance in medical claims processing or similar data-intensive services.
Highlight any unique qualifications, certifications, or technologies that demonstrate your ability to meet the agency's needs efficiently and within required timeframes. Ensure your submission is concise, professional, and directly addresses the type of service described in the notice.
