AMENDMENT 00001 – Changes/Updates reflected in RED

BACKGROUND/PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This capability also supports ICE efforts to combat transnational criminal enterprises that seek to exploit America’s legitimate trade, travel, and financial systems. Currently, the government is considering North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) number 518210 – Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services and Product Service Code (PSC) – DH10 – Platform as a Service: Database, Mainframe, Middleware. A final NAICS and PSC determination will be made after the market research is analyzed.
