# DHS Leases Philadelphia ICE Parking Spaces

A new Department of Homeland Security agreement provides 16 parking spaces for ICE at a federally owned garage managed by the Philadelphia Parking Authority, beginning in October 2026 and continuing through at least September 2027. It follows a prior parking contract valued at $53,520 that expired at the end of September 2026. The new agreement’s value is not reported, and the available information identifies no solicitation or contractor competition; the renewal is drawing public scrutiny over the PPA’s arrangement with ICE.

- Facility managers and contractors should distinguish this existing lease from a competitive procurement: no new solicitation or bid opportunity is identified.
- The new agreement’s undisclosed value limits cost benchmarking against the prior $53,520 contract; its term and 16-space scope are specified.
- Public scrutiny is a relevant consideration for organizations managing government facilities or providing services connected to the arrangement.
