About this award

Borealis Enterprises, LLC, a Native American-owned small business and SBA 8(a) Program Participant, was awarded a $7.83M firm fixed-price design-build contract by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on September 30, 2024, with completion anticipated by October 5, 2026. The contract, which received a 164-day performance extension at no additional cost to the government, addresses health and life safety improvements at the CBP Freer Checkpoint in Freer, Texas. The project involves the design and construction of a 2,888 square-foot modular checkpoint building equipped with integrated systems including fire suppression, smoke evacuation, HVAC, and security infrastructure. No set-aside designation was used for this award, allowing Borealis to compete in an unrestricted procurement environment.

The prime contractor has assembled a specialized subcontractor team to execute the project scope. Sheladia Associates Inc., a multidisciplined architectural and engineering consulting firm, was subcontracted in November 2024 to provide comprehensive architectural and engineering design services and subsequently in November 2025 to perform structural and civil design revisions. CWT Solutions, LLC serves as the primary construction subcontractor, responsible for modular building construction, installation of building systems and finishes, and provision of temporary site support services including facilities, utilities, and construction logistics. Integriward, LLC, an SBA-certified women-owned and 8(a) program participant small business based in San Antonio, was awarded a subcontract to design and install a FICAM-compliant Physical Access Control System (PACS) and CAVSS-compliant Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system with integrated duress alarm and security features. The project has generated multiple change orders addressing foundational costs, underground communications infrastructure relocation, fire suppression system modifications, and structural repositioning of building modules.
