BI Incorporated

What BI Incorporated does

BI Incorporated is a Boulder, Colorado-based government contractor and the largest provider of comprehensive electronic monitoring services in the United States, tracking more than 60,000 offenders daily. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The GEO Group, Inc. (NYSE: GEO), a publicly traded real estate investment trust, following an acquisition around 2016. BI has maintained a 21+ year operating relationship with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), serving as one of 13 private contractors selected for a $1.2 billion federal program targeting up to 1.5 million individuals on the non-detained docket.

The company's core product set centers on AI-assisted skip tracing services, the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP), and broader location research and electronic monitoring services. Its skip tracing stack combines data mining, online research, and computer-vision-enabled surveillance to verify addresses and photograph homes and workplaces, with text and image AI modalities applied per case. BI services are delivered directly to federal agencies through negotiated and competitively bid contracts, with the most recent award being a two-year ICE contract valued at approximately $121 million beginning December 16, 2025, comprising a one-year base period plus a one-year option.

Revenue is generated through managed-services government contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The $121M ICE contract represents approximately 4.8% of parent GEO Group's $2.53B annual revenue, and case-referral volume under the broader program can reach up to 50,000 per month per contractor. With 10,000+ employees and operations spanning GEO Group's secure facilities, processing centers, and community reentry centers, BI carries material fixed-cost infrastructure that is leveraged across government contracts. Operational risk has been elevated by public allegations of staff misconduct at a California detention facility, which could affect contract renewals and reputation.
