Unaccompanied Alien Children Safety Verification Initiative

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is seeking information from vendors capable of performing in-field safety verification services for unaccompanied alien children (UAC) released from the Office of Refugee Resettlement. The goal is to locate and verify the safety of these children, confirm their location and custody, and check for signs of abuse, abandonment, neglect, or trafficking. The program is estimated to last for two years and will involve investigating thousands of cases weekly, with a goal of investigating approximately 300,000 cases within one year. • The vendor should have experience with similar programs that support the verification of child safety. • The vendor should have experience working with the Office of Refugee Resettlement's infrastructure and the UAC population. • The vendor should have experience working with state and local agencies, including law enforcement, school districts, and child welfare agencies. • The vendor should have a data management system to track and monitor program success. • The vendor should provide a rough cost estimate for the program and the rationale for such costs.
