Overview
Accenture plc is a multinational professional services and technology consulting company headquartered in Dublin, Ireland.[1] Public reporting and procurement reporting describe Accenture (including its U.S. federal contracting arm) as a contractor for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its immigration enforcement components, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).[2]
Boycott
Accenture is listed for boycott due to documented work supporting U.S. immigration enforcement agencies, including contracts described as supporting ICE cyber defense and intelligence functions and CBP IT modernization and data center support.[2][3]
Public reporting describes CBP awarding Accenture Federal Services an IT infrastructure operations and modernization contract valued at roughly $380 million, with work described as supporting CBP headquarters, field components, regional locations, and data centers.[4] Accenture’s own public announcement of the award describes delivering technology support across multiple CBP programs as part of CBP’s mission operations and modernization.[5]
Separately, procurement reporting describes Accenture Federal Services as an awardee for ICE cyber defense and intelligence support (CDISS).[3][2]
Background
ICE and CBP rely extensively on contractors for technology, intelligence support, cybersecurity, infrastructure modernization, and program support. Where this work materially contributes to surveillance, targeting, detention logistics, or enforcement capacity, ICE List documents and, where applicable, boycotts companies whose contract work supports immigration enforcement operations.[2]
