UNACCOMPANIED ALIEN CHILDREN (UAC) TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) procured unaccompanied alien children (UAC) transportation services from MVM, Inc. for a value of USD 39,653,431.81 to transport UACs from Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) shelters to sponsors, between ORR facilities, and during emergency influx situations. This supports ICE's mission-critical responsibility for moving apprehended UACs and family units via ground, commercial air, and charter flights amid rising apprehensions driven by policies like section 235 of the TVPRA. The contract fits into broader strategic efforts to manage increased UAC volumes, estimated at 45,000 annually, primarily from border sectors like Rio Grande Valley.
