SAM.gov notice materials for The G.L.O.V.E. list award number 70CMSW26C00000012, award date August 26, 2026, and a justification for the ICE procurement.
Assessments
The promise was to oppose DHS procurement and deployment of electric shock gloves for ICE personnel, not necessarily to stop the procurement. The evidence shows Underwood took a direct same-term federal action by writing to DHS opposing the reported ICE electric shock glove purchase. Because the claimed commitment was framed as opposition, that action fulfills the promise even though the SAM.gov record indicates ICE proceeded with the award.
