About this award

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) awarded a $683.5 million delivery order to SLS Federal Services LLC on December 16, 2025, for vertical barrier construction services in Encinal, Texas, with completion targeted for August 31, 2028. This firm fixed-price delivery order carries no set-aside designation and operates under the DHS CBP Southwest Border Construction 2025-2030 parent indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, which provides CBP with procurement flexibility to address prioritized border security infrastructure initiatives across the southwest border region. SLS Federal Services LLC, a Galveston-based federal contractor specializing in border security infrastructure construction, has established itself as a key vendor for CBP, having secured over $1 billion in recent federal contract awards dedicated exclusively to border construction activities.

This delivery order represents one component of CBP's broader strategic border security infrastructure program. SLS Federal Services LLC simultaneously manages a companion $372.8 million delivery order for design-build construction of waterborne and vertical barriers at Del Rio and Carrizo Springs, Texas, as well as the parent $3.364 billion IDIQ contract that provides CBP with a five-year performance window through October 30, 2030. The firm fixed-price structure and substantial contract values reflect the government's confidence in the contractor's capability to execute large-scale border security projects with cost certainty and defined performance parameters.
