Purpose & Background
ICE is gathering information to understand how commercial Big Data and Ad Tech providers can support increasing volumes of criminal, civil, and regulatory documentation. The Government is assessing existing and emerging Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) solutions comparable to large providers of investigative data and legal/risk analytics. Additionally, ICE seeks to understand the current state of Ad Tech compliant and location data services available to federal investigative and operational entities, considering regulatory constraints and privacy expectations.
