Not yet re-checked Importance 7/10 ~1 min read 2 sources 2 actors

Intelligence Community News reported that DHS posted a request for information on September 18 for ERO Overwatch and National Security Enforcement (ERO ONE) support services, a market-research notice for approximately 142 contract Intelligence Research Specialists and two project managers supporting ERO headquarters and field locations. The contemplated services include “network and relationship analysis.” The RFI is market research, not a solicitation or award.

The DHS acquisition forecast (APFS record F2026075521) places the requirement in its “Over $100M” dollar range, a range bucket rather than a stated contract value, with an estimated solicitation release date of 12/10/2026 and an estimated period of performance of 02/25/2027 to 02/24/2032; no solicitation has been issued. Eyes on ICE described it as a contract “valued at more than $100 million” with solicitation scheduled for December 10, 2026. Corrections applied 2026-10-16 from the primary forecast record.
