What ICE is buying and why it matters
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is seeking a large business for a Single Award Construction Contract (SACC) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ). This contract will cover new construction, renovation, and repair of their Service Processing Center (SPC) facilities.
The scope of work includes general construction, alterations, modifications, renovations, maintenance, repair, demolition, design-build services, and new construction. This is a significant opportunity for a large business in the construction sector, as it is designed to be a flexible contracting vehicle for mission-critical facility needs.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is currently a Request for Information (RFI), with the full solicitation expected to be posted by July 17, 2026. The deadline for responses to this RFI is August 31, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. All responses must be submitted by this time.
The contract will have a base period of one year from the date of award, with potential option periods. Monitor SAM.gov for all solicitation updates, as the government reserves the right to incorporate changes from the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) and related Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Acquisition Regulation (HSAR) updates.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is restricted to large businesses only. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 236220, which covers commercial and institutional building construction. The small business size standard for this NAICS code is forty-five million, reinforcing that this is for large businesses.
Firms with experience in managing single task orders for construction, renovation, and repair of facilities are well-suited. The contract will result in a Single Award, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) with Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) task orders.

Practical tips for a competitive response
Prepare to address the evaluation factors: EMR Report (Go/No Go), Bonding Capacity (Acceptable/Unacceptable), Past Performance, Management Plan, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, and Price (for each CLIN). Ensure your firm meets the EMR and bonding capacity requirements.
Develop a strong past performance section by highlighting relevant projects that demonstrate your capability in general construction, renovation, and repair of facilities. Craft a detailed management plan that shows your ability to handle single task orders effectively. Even though this is for large businesses, a robust small business subcontracting plan is a key evaluation factor, so plan your partnerships carefully. Finally, ensure your pricing for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) is competitive and well-justified.
