## Description

DHS/ICE needs to increase bed capacity to meet the administration’s interior enforcement and border decompression goals. This contract supports the ICE ERO Saint Paul Minnesota Field Office with the provision of comprehensive detention services for five years. This required geographical area is essential for ERO to accomplish its apprehension and detention, and removal mission in the most cost efficient and timely manner.

The facility must have a capacity of up to 1600 detainees, while also providing guards, meals, medical care, and transportation services. It must also be fully operational within a reasonable time of the contract award date. These services are required to support ERO’s mission to safely detain illegal aliens while they await trial or deportation.

The contractor provides all personnel, detention management, equipment, facilities, supplies, transportation, medical care, and onsite hearings in accordance with the ICE 2026 National Detention Standards (NDS), American Correctional Association (ACA) Standards for Adult Local Detention Facilities (ALDF), Standards for Health Services in Jails, and National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC).

ICE intends to procure these detention services pursuant to RFO Subpart 6.103-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Core Civic is the sole owner and operator of the Prairie detention facility that meets ICE requirements in the timeframe.
