# ICE Expands Network Infrastructure

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) placed at least eight network-related orders totaling approximately **$12.47 million** with Swish Data in 2026, including Cisco networking equipment, identity and access-control appliances, optimization services, maintenance, and backup power equipment. Selected Cisco-related ICE awards since September 2024 total approximately $29.8 million. Separately, a Department of Homeland Security forecast describes a potential **$50 million–$100 million, five-year** infrastructure hardware-support requirement, with an anticipated July 2026–July 2031 performance period; it is a forecast, not a confirmed award.

- The 2026 orders indicate continued demand for Cisco-compatible equipment, software, licensing, maintenance, identity services, backup power, cabling, and network support across ICE operations.
- Contractors can use the award history and NASA SEWP ordering activity to assess incumbent and reseller positions and identify relevant follow-on opportunities; the forecast does not establish that a solicitation or award has occurred.
- ICE’s installed proprietary infrastructure may limit competition for some support work, making Cisco compatibility and experience with the existing environment commercially relevant.
