# ICE Revises California Detainee Transport Procurement

The Government Accountability Office rejected Asset Protection & Security Services L.P.’s protest, allowing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to continue corrective action on a detainee-transport task order for the Los Angeles and California central coast areas. GAO found ICE reasonably determined that the original solicitation lacked sufficient and accurate information affecting pricing, making revised proposals appropriate. The procurement is valued at $511 million, and the revised solicitation may create a new competitive opportunity for qualified transportation providers.

- ICE is revising the solicitation and seeking revised proposals; the original information deficiencies affected offerors’ ability to price the work accurately.
- The **$511 million** task order covers detainee transportation in the Los Angeles and California central coast areas.
- Transportation contractors, including the initial awardee and other interested firms, should assess their ability to compete on revised terms and monitor the revised procurement.
