# DHS Plans $100M ICAM Contract

DHS plans a 12-month, sole-source blanket purchase agreement for identity, credentialing, and access management (ICAM) services with incumbent Dignari LLC, estimated at $50 million to $100 million. The scope includes identity lifecycle automation, credential issuance and revocation, access reviews, and continuous monitoring. DHS forecasts releasing the solicitation on November 20, 2026—10 days from the current date—and anticipates completion by December 12, 2027. The procurement is not described as a response to the Icepick data leak, and the source reports no evidence linking Dignari to that exposure.

- The planned sole-source approach means this is not currently presented as an open competition; prospective suppliers should assess whether any role is available through the incumbent or the final solicitation terms.
- Companies tracking the opportunity can review the solicitation when DHS forecasts its release on November 20 for the finalized scope, schedule, and terms.
- The scope points to demand for automated identity lifecycle management, credential administration, access recertification, and continuous monitoring across DHS.
