USAspending lists order 70CTD026FR0000025 to Flywheel Data LLC, a reseller ordering under a GSA schedule vehicle, as signed on 05/20/2026 (month/day/year). Its one-year performance period runs from 05/20/2026 to 05/19/2027. Total obligation on the award is $10,300,000.

The description reads “THIS REQUIREMENT IS FOR 25 BABEL STREET INSIGHTS LICENSES, LOCATION AND IDENTITY APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACES FOR USE IN ICE CASE MANAGEMENT AND ANALYTICS SYSTEMS.” The competition fields read “FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION AFTER EXCLUSION OF SOURCES”.

Babel Street is on the May 2024 ICE Wide Analytical Tools list. The cascade-research obligations comparison (a vendor-keyword pull, not a census) returned no earlier ICE transaction naming Babel Street or Flywheel.

Obligation is not the ceiling: the award’s potential value including options is $56,914,004.74, against $10,300,000 obligated. This entry records the obligation and does not say the larger amount will be spent.
