The Department of Defense (DoD) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) have awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract worth up to $5 billion to Fisher Sand & Gravel Co., doing business as Fisher Industries, to provide horizontal construction services in support of border security efforts along the southern border of the United States. This IDIQ contract, titled "Southern Border Horizontal Construction Services 2019," has a five-year ordering period and will enable the Army to issue firm-fixed-price delivery orders for the construction of physical barriers, including primary border barriers, fences, and walls.
To date, the Army has issued several significant delivery orders against this IDIQ contract to Fisher Industries. These include a $1.349 billion order to construct 42 miles of primary border barrier in Ajo, Arizona, and a $209.9 million order to construct 20 miles of primary barrier in Canutillo, Texas. The contract work is being performed for the DoD and USACE, with no set-aside designations specified. These border infrastructure projects support the national security mission of the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection and the DoD along the southern border.
