JFYI, an extension beyond expiration is, functionally, a no-bid contract. So, keep an eye on how long that extension continues/ when it actually ends.

Are we fighting this new award of a turnkey facility? Who makes that award? The state?

The turnkey facility award will be between ICE and a contractor — in this case, likely GEO Group. Our past reporting on it is at the link below. It's also entirely likely ICE could just buy the facility out from GEO Group, as they've done elsewhere this summer.
