Background
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) enforces the nation’s immigration laws. ICE Health Service Corps (IHSC) serves as the health authority for ICE / ERO on all matters related to detainee healthcare. There are currently 18 IHSC-managed detention facilities, which completed 119,968 intake screenings of non-citizens and filled over 200,000 prescriptions in fiscal year 2022. The current temperature monitoring devices require field staff to program each individual device to alarm correctly, and the devices produce an audible alarm that requires staff to be physically present, within audible range, to be effective.
Moving to a cloud-based, integrated temperature monitoring system within IHSC facilities would provide real-time, on-site, and remote medication storage area temperature monitoring.

Work Details
The objective of this RFI is to determine available temperature monitoring systems in the industry for refrigerators and freezers that store medications or vaccines that would meet ICE’s requirements. This includes medication storage and environmental temperature monitoring system, system upgrades & updates, and system support.
Interested vendors are required to provide a scripted demonstration of how their product implements software/hardware requirements, system functionality, interoperability and standards compliance.
