From the source
>I'm disclosing a list containing the details of 6,681 organizations that applied for contracts with the US Department of Homeland Security. This data was taken from the Office of Industry Partnership at https://oip.dhs.gov.
Contrary to the title this doesn't seem like all contractors? 6681 contractors in total seems a bit low for an agency as big as DHS.
It seems like that it is all contracts managed by the the Office of Industry Partnerships, within DHS's Science and Technology Directorate, which exists, per its website, to "engage industry and facilitate partnerships with private sector innovators to advance commercial technology solutions that address homeland security challenges."
This is consistent with the explorer having a drop down filter for "Program" with options exactly matching three of the four programs listed as OIP programs o their webpage, excluding "Targeted Broad Agency Announcements”, which from the description OIP participates in but are specifically for some other particular DHS component (which, might handles the actual contracting, which would explain why the data wasn't in the OIP leak, OTOH, the list of current opportunities in that category on the web is empty, so its possible that it is a category that exists in theory but is not actively being used currently.)
This is very much not all DHS contracts, and even the claim that it is "ICE/DHS" contracts seems mostly misleading clickbait trading on the degree of attention to and awareness of ICE even though these contracts are through and for a non-ICE component of DHS.
Kind of wish you'd written this as a top comment.
It's missing data for sure - at least on the awarded side. (Which is easy to vet because it's all public)

Shouldn't contractors for ICE/DHS be completely public?
What sort of US government organization hides its contractors?
Seems like, the kind that will award a $70 million contract to a guy with a hotmail address.

Why do you mention something like that without providing a link?
It anyone's interested, it's the "Cyber Apex Solutions, LLC" contract, and this looks like it has more info: https://www.washingtontechnology.com/2017/07/dhs-picks-cyber.... It looks like it's from 9 years ago.
I was going to say that often prison warden hide their true identities within the prison and then I realized the sad irony in what I was thinking.
If it's not already public data, this seems like the sort of thing you could probably get legally by filing a FOIA request.
It is all public.
Definitely not all contractors, my company at the very least used to have a contract with ICE and isn’t listed.
