The receipt
ICE ordered medical staffing from The Arora Group in July 2024, starting at about $3.2 million. Twelve contract actions later, about $91.1 million is committed and about $61.4 million has been paid out, against a $236.3 million ceiling if every option is exercised. The order runs to July 31, 2027 and could run to July 31, 2029.
Contract scope as written on the federal record: “Medical staffing services for ICE, described from August 2025 as covering Alexandria, Eloy, Florence, Jena and Tacoma.”

Evidence boundary
What the evidence establishes
- Twelve dated contract actions run from July 22, 2024 to July 27, 2026.
- Committed money rose from about $3.2 million at signing to about $91.1 million.
- About $61.4 million was outlayed — roughly two thirds of the committed total.
- The August 1, 2025 action exercised option period one and is the first to name the five locations.
- The single largest action is the July 27, 2026 modification, at about $25.4 million.
- Potential value is about $236.3 million if every option is exercised.
What it does not establish
- It does not establish how much of the money was spent at any one location, because the record apportions none of it.
- It does not establish how many clinicians were placed, in what disciplines, or on what schedule.
- It does not establish the quality, timeliness or adequacy of any care delivered.
- It does not establish which specific facility is meant by each city named.
Human impact linkage
No harm record in this dataset is linked to this award. Buying clinical staffing is not evidence about the care any person received.
