The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is seeking to establish a Firm Fixed Price Contract for Religious Services across six locations, including five dedicated ICE Detention Facilities and one facility at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay (NSGB), Cuba. The contract aims to provide detainees with structured opportunities to practice their religious beliefs through the presence of on-site chaplains and support staff along with local volunteers. These personnel will engage with the detainee population coordinating worship services and religious instruction for various faith groups while ensuring that these activities align with facility safety and security protocols. The program emphasizes the importance of pastoral care, offering one-on-one support to detainees with sensitivity and approachability. Additionally, the offeror will oversee the approval of religious meals and advise on matters related to religious property and instructional materials. This initiative reflects ICE's commitment to granting detainees the freedom to pursue their individual religious practices within a secure environment.
