The Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement has detailed plans to award task orders under a blanket purchase agreement for a shared electronic health record platform supporting ICE Health Service Corps and Customs and Border Protection.
Register now for the Potomac Officers Club’s 2026 Homeland Security Summit on Nov. 12 for the opportunity to hear directly from DHS leadership on how industry can contribute to their renewed needs and strategic priorities.
What Is ICE Procuring?
According to a notice posted on the DHS Acquisition Planning Forecast System on Tuesday, the requirement calls for an integrated, multi-module correctional EHR system that enables a single longitudinal health record for detainees across custody transitions, including transfers between CBP and IHSC.
The platform must support interoperability with DHS enterprise services and external systems while maintaining real-time access, data integrity and traceability in compliance with federal standards. It must secure high authorization under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program — or an equivalent security certification — and run on ICE GovCloud, unless the ICE chief information officer approves an alternate FedRAMP High cloud environment.
Vendors are required to obtain certification from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology or secure such certification within one year of deployment.
How Will the BPA Be Structured?
ICE intends to issue two separate task orders — one in support of IHSC and another dedicated to CBP operations. The total value is expected to exceed $100 million, with the award anticipated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.
The solicitation is expected to be released in mid-June.
The latest forecast builds on an earlier IHSC-focused procurement notice that outlined plans to replace or integrate existing EHR subsystems.
