# ICE Awards Thomson Reuters Data Analytics Contract

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has awarded Thomson Reuters Special Services a **five-year, up to $125 million** blanket purchase agreement to provide data and analytics support for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). This contract enhances HSI's identity targeting, screening, lead development, and criminal analysis capabilities by integrating commercial and investigative data sources. The award follows a reversal of a sole-source procurement approach, indicating a competitive procurement environment and ICE's strategic emphasis on advanced data integration to support investigative operations.

- The contract (70CMSD26A00000008) supports modernization efforts in identity targeting and link analysis, critical for HSI's mission effectiveness.
- Procurement professionals should note the shift toward leveraging commercial data analytics providers like Thomson Reuters alongside technology firms such as Palantir Technologies, which holds a related $45.8 million contract for investigative case management modernization.
- This development signals growing opportunities for vendors specializing in data analytics, identity intelligence, and investigative support services within DHS components.
- Contractors should evaluate capabilities in integrating diverse data sets and advanced analytics to align with ICE's evolving procurement priorities.
