The Basic Ordering Agreement between the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection and Taylor Engineering, PLLC provides for various minor construction, facility maintenance, and IT services in support of CBP operations. Taylor Engineering is the prime contractor and an SBA-certified 8(a) Program participant.
Under the IDV, Taylor Engineering has received multiple delivery orders to date for tasks such as fuel tank removal, building repairs, fire system maintenance, electrical upgrades, and HVAC services at locations along the southwest border such as Yuma, Arizona and San Diego, California. Taylor has also replaced Automated Commercial System platforms supporting CBP's trade processing missions at ports of entry in Montana. These orders have values ranging from approximately $55,000 to $949,000 and periods of performance from days to over a year involving firm fixed price arrangements.
Some orders were awarded as 8(a) sole source set asides reflecting CBP's use of programs to direct work to small disadvantaged prime contractors like Taylor Engineering. The IDV's original stated purpose and nearly $4.5 million ceiling indicate it serves as a flexible vehicle for CBP to efficiently obtain minor projects nationwide in support of its border security and trade and travel facilitation missions.
