US IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT (HOMELAND SECURITY, DEPARTMENT OF) · Amentum Services Inc. · $2,796,540,325 (total incl. options) · 41 U.S.C. §3304(a)(1); RFO 6.103-1
Posted 2026-10-19, award 70CDCR26C00000016, “Camp East Montana”
The revised justification definitizes a letter contract with Amentum and says the estimated value and duration both increased from the original letter-contract planning assumptions. It says the sole-source basis is Amentum's ownership and operational control of the facility infrastructure.
“The total estimated value has increased from the original letter contract planning value due to the increased duration of performance and the continued operational requirement for detention and facility management services at Camp East Montana.”
