Unsolicited proposals can help ICE accomplish its mission. The proposal must be prepared independent of government advice or supervision.

Before beginning the unsolicited proposal process, a vendor should carefully and objectively assess its product or service to ensure that it is not commercially available and it meets the specific criteria of FAR Part 15.6 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). This regulation can be accessed at Acquisition.gov's FAR web site.

Unsolicited proposals are contingent on the availability of funds and the absence of other possible vendors. ICE encourages the submission of unsolicited proposals meeting the criteria noted above.

Unsolicited proposals should be directed to:

ICE is very interested in engaging with vendors to promote more meaningful exchanges of information.  The goal is to support a greater understanding by industry of ICE's IT requirements, as well as a greater understanding by the government of industry capabilities available to support the ICE mission.

In the interest of transparency and open communication, ICE is beginning tri-annual industry days with an initial focus on IT acquisitions. The sessions will include briefings by key staff within acquisitions, IT, and programs, as well as a Q&A segment for government and industry discussions. Topics will include doing business with ICE, major upcoming contracts, and small business information. The second session will be held February 17th, 2022, with an additional session planned for June. Specific details will be posted on www.Sam.gov.

ICE uses DHS strategic sourcing vehicles where mandated and encourages partnerships through sub-contracting opportunities under these contracts. See Department-wide Contract Vehicles for additional information.  In addition, see the links below for information on upcoming opportunities as listed in our Acquisition Planning Forecast System.
