The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) / U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is responsible for detention, health, welfare, transportation, and deportation of non-citizens in removal proceedings, and those subject to a final order of removal from the United States. The mission of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) is to identify, arrest, and remove non-citizens, who present a danger to national security or are a risk to public safety, as well as those who enter the United States illegally or otherwise undermine the integrity of immigration laws and border control efforts. In implementing its mission, ERO is responsible for carrying out all orders for the securing and departure activities of non-citizens when such becomes necessary and prescribed by law. The ERO Seattle area field office requires a facility for the detention and transportation of ICE detainees located in the state of Washington in support of the ICE ERO-Seattle Field Office. The contractor shall furnish the facility (1,635 beds: males and females) and services inclusive of a trained and qualified management staff, supervision, manpower, relief officer(s), uniforms, equipment, vehicles, and supplies (which include firearms, ammunition, body restraints, non-lethal devices, body armor, radios and cellular telephones), food service officers, and janitorial staff to provide support seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours per day. ICE is anticipating a one (1) year base period with four (4) one-year and one (1) six-month option periods, and a 60-day transition period. Detention services shall be performed in accordance with the most current version of the NDS 2025.
