XL EagleICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement)
ICE stands for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a DHS component that enforces immigration and customs laws inside the United States. It includes Enforcement and Removal Operations and Homeland Security Investigations.
ICE contracts for detention facility operations, transportation, medical care, food service, IT, and facility maintenance at its offices.
Why it matters to a small contractor
ICE work often involves detention facilities and transportation, which carry strict standards and background checks. Food service, laundry, medical, and maintenance firms may find subcontract work with primes that operate facilities.
Example
A commercial laundry company provides linen service as a subcontractor to a company that runs a detention facility under contract.
