Evidence boundary
What the evidence establishes
- About $598.4 million was obligated on this task order and carried onto ICE's books in the November 14, 2025 transfer. The transfer moved contract administration, not cash between agencies.
- Acquisition Logistics LLC was contracted to construct, operate and maintain Camp East Montana from July 18, 2025 until this order was terminated.
- The government terminated the order in full for its convenience on April 17, 2026.
- About $314.9 million had been outlayed at the cutoff — roughly 53 cents of every obligated dollar.
- Potential value on the transferred order was about $1.34 billion, with a potential period to September 30, 2027.
What it does not establish
- It does not establish why the order was terminated. Termination for convenience is a contracting right the government may exercise without cause stated in the record.
- It does not establish that Amentum succeeded to, was assigned, or novated this order. GAO reports that a different vendor was contracted to begin operating the site on April 18, 2026, and separate award records identify Amentum Services, Inc.; that is a change of operator, not a legal succession.
- It does not establish that GAO's findings caused the termination or the change of operator.
- It does not establish what happens to the roughly $283 million obligated but not outlayed, or what termination settlement costs may follow.
- It does not establish that Acquisition Logistics alone performed every medical, guard, food, transport or construction service at the site, or that it is responsible for every documented condition there.
