Evidence boundary

What the evidence establishes

  • Committed money grew from about $13.2 million at signing to about $112.1 million across five dated actions.
  • The most recent recorded action, on August 4, 2026, added about $17.4 million for continuation of services.
  • The funded period of performance ends August 31, 2026, and the record shows no option period beyond it.
  • About $34.8 million had been outlayed at the cutoff — roughly 31 cents of every committed dollar.

What it does not establish

  • It does not establish what happens after August 31, 2026: no renewal, extension or successor award appears in the records this project has read.
  • It does not establish that the roughly $77 million of committed but unpaid money will be spent.
  • It does not establish the population held at California City, despite the ICE workbook recording a guaranteed minimum of 2,560 beds at that facility under separate reporting.
  • It does not establish conditions or care at the facility.
