The Southwest Border Detainee Meals Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a multi-award contract vehicle established by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to provide pre-packaged, ready-to-eat meals for individuals detained in CBP facilities along the Southwest border region. The BPA, with a total ceiling value of $208,233,544.37, was designed to support the agency's border security and immigration enforcement missions by ensuring consistent and nutritionally appropriate meal services for detainees. Under the solicitation, the contract seeks to procure breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals that meet specific nutritional guidelines, with delivery capabilities across nine U.S. Border Patrol sectors and four Office of Field Operations locations.

The task orders under this BPA are consistently structured as firm-fixed-price call orders, typically ranging from $40,000 to $250,000 and having performance periods through September 30th of the respective fiscal year. Frequently winning prime contractors include Rockwell American Services (a woman-owned small business), California Sandwich Company, Sunrise Tortilla Inc., Rowe Solutions Inc., and Logistics365 Inc. The majority of these call orders are set aside for total small businesses, with some specifically designated for woman-owned small businesses or minority-owned businesses. Performance locations are predominantly in California (San Diego, Imperial, Campo stations), Arizona (Tucson sector), and Texas (Rio Grande Valley sector), though some task orders have been issued for locations as diverse as Nebraska and Oregon. The BPA enables CBP to rapidly procure meal services for detainees, supporting the agency's operational requirements with a streamlined, multiple-award contract approach.
