Mobile Portfolio Sustainment Support SOW
Background The mission of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is to safeguard America’s borders, thereby protecting the public from dangerous people and materials while enhancing the Nation’s global economic competitiveness by enabling legitimate trade and travel.
The U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) land surveillance mission essential tasks are to detect, identify, classify, and track adversary individuals, groups, and conveyances (i.e., dismounted persons; and land, waterways/coastal, riverine and airborne conveyances) using a variety of capabilities, one of which is mobile surveillance. Waterways/coastal and riverine environments are part of land surveillance. The USBP mission requires the ability to detect, identify, classify, and track, leading to the interception of equipment, vehicles, and humans engaged in or suspected of unlawful border crossing activities.
Figure 1: USBP Land Surveillance Mission Essential Tasks This statement of work (SOW) provides information on several Mobile Portfolio programs, including Advanced Mobile Surveillance Systems (AMSS) and Small Unmanned Aircraft System (SUAS) programs.
AMSS
The AMSS Program includes surveillance vehicles that detect, identify, and track items of interest (IoI) such as humans, vehicles, drones, and watercraft. AMSS includes the following programs of record: Mobile Surveillance Capability – Lite (MSC-L), Mobile Video Surveillance System (MVSS), Mobile Video Surveillance System with Radar (MVSS-R), Enhanced Mobile Video Surveillance System with Radar (eMVSS-R), and the Enhanced Mobile Surveillance Capability – Lite (eMSC-L).
Descriptions of the mobile surveillance system platforms can be found within the table below.
Table 1: Platform Description
| Platform |
| Description |
| Mobile Surveillance Capability – Lite (MSC-L) |
| Provides a truck-based surveillance system for detection, tracking, identification, and classification of illegal entries/illegal border crossings. Has an integrated day and night camera, radar, and a command and control operator console installed in the cab of a Ford F‑250 truck. Rapidly deployable and covert, as the entire skid can safely stow inside of the truck bed. |
Enhanced Mobile Surveillance Capability – Lite (eMSC-L) Provides a truck-based surveillance system, similar to the MSC-L, but is equipped with enhanced autonomous capabilities, freeing the operator from having to physically be present in the cab of the vehicle to conduct additional mission essential tasks.
Mobile Video Surveillance System
(MVSS)
Provides a truck-based surveillance system for enabling visual detection, identification, and classification of illegal entries/illegal border crossings. Will be deployed for both day or night use to provide surveillance when intelligence indicators signal that IoIs are in or approaching an area.
Mobile Video Surveillance System with Radar
(MVSS-R)
Provides a truck-based surveillance system, similar to MVSS, but includes a radar capability for additional detection and identification.
Enhanced Mobile Video Surveillance System with Radar (eMVSS-R) Provides a truck-based surveillance system, similar to the MVSS-R, but is equipped with enhanced autonomous capabilities, freeing the operator from having to physically be present in the cab of the vehicle to conduct additional mission essential tasks.
SUAS
The SUAS Program is a critical component of CBP’s strategy to enhance border security and situational awareness across the Nation’s land, air, and maritime domains. SUAS platforms provide rapid, flexible, and scalable surveillance capabilities, addressing gaps in detection and identification of item of interest (IoI). The program aligns with Department of Homeland Security and CBP strategic goals to counter terrorism, secure U.S. borders, and combat transnational crime.
Full Operational Capability
AMSS
The full operational capability (FOC) for the surveillance platforms is 166 MVSS, MVSS‑R, or eMVSS-R platforms; and 100 MSC-Lite or eMSC-Lite platforms.

Operational Effectiveness Requirements
AMSS
The key performance parameters (KPP) specified in the individual mobile platform’s operational requirements document and/or integrated logistics support plan establish the baseline level of support required for depot-level support and supply chain/warehousing management in support of each individual mobile system. The threshold is the minimum value necessary to provide operational capability that will satisfy the requirement. The objective is a value that provides a performance capability above the threshold which may be attainable within the costs identified in the individual program’s acquisition program baseline. All supply chain, warehousing, and depot-level maintenance providers must implement a quality management process for the sustainment of each mobile surveillance system. The quality management process will be assessed on a quarterly basis and will provide input into the annual operational analysis required of and performed by the individual programs. The quality management process will be captured in the provider’s maintenance plan.

AMSS Sustainment Transition Contractor will provide all services and materials necessary to develop and execute a CLS Transition Plan (CDRL #C-T01), including a dedicated Transition Manager. AMSS transition is a direct assumption of prime contractor responsibilities. As the established experts on this program, AMSS transition is focused on the seamless transfer of data, assets, and contractual authority, ensuring zero disruption to the mission-critical operations the Program already supports. The CLS Transition Plan will specify the detailed processes, procedures, and schedule for assuming full AMSS sustainment responsibilities above field level maintenance.
A critical component of this plan is the transfer of all program data and assets. While the Contractor possesses the technical knowledge required to perform all sustainment tasks, the transition requires the formal transfer of information from Government-controlled systems and stakeholders. The plan will specifically address the acquisition of all historical maintenance data from ILSS, all necessary technical data packages from the Government, and the complete inventory of GFE from FAALC. This ensures that AMSS’s existing knowledge base is augmented with the official data and property required for prime contract execution.
The Contractor will follow the four-phased transition methodology to ensure continuity of service and a seamless assumption of full responsibility. Table 1 depicts the anticipated schedule.

Phase 1 - Planning and Preparing This phase focuses on all pre-award and immediate post-award activities necessary to ensure The Contractor is ready to assume full control on day one. The Contractor will conduct pre-award planning and coordination with Government representatives to review all program requirements. Upon award, Contractor will immediately begin securing leases for depot level maintenance and manufacturing, warehousing, and office spaces. A key focus of this phase is the development of the foundational program plans, including the CLS Transition Plan (CDRL #C-T-01), the PMP (CDRL #C-PM01), and the ICSP (CDRL #C-L01). All materials will be prepared for presentation at the initial CLS Transition Plan Guidance Conference.
To ensure immediate site access, Contractor will leverage any existing personnel who possess current Background Investigation (BI) clearances to immediately obtain PIV cards with additional personnel pending. Contractor will expeditiously submit security packets for all other required team members to accelerate the BI and PIV card process.
Phase 2 – Contracting The most critical element of the transition is the Contractor working with CBP and Program to establish key performance and sustainment contracts with vendors and OEMs presently supporting the AMSS program. By May 1, 2027, the Contractor will assume contracting responsibilities and oversight of prime OEM/Vendor sustainment contracts. Contractor will assign individuals to act as Financial Analyst and Service Order Coordinators to: evaluate and assists with the creation and execution of new supporting contracts; schedule quarterly program management reviews with sub-vendors; and work on contract option-year renewals.
Upon contract awards, the Contractor will: manage financial transactions on Service Order Agreements; support monthly invoicing; manage financial transactions on Service Order Agreements; and support monthly invoice and Customer Status Reports reporting.
Phase 3 – Facility Identification and Inspection No later than February 19, 2027, Contractor will have successfully secured and obtained Government acceptance of facilities to support AMSS warehouse and supply-chain operations, Depot level maintenance support and manufacturing, and associated office space. Approved sites will meet CBP security requirements for storage and handling of sensitive items. It will also meet all OSHA safety requirements related to hazmat and employee safety, and be equipped with all the necessary material handling equipment for storage and handling of government furnished equipment.
Phase 4 – Inventory of Assets In support of Phase 4, the AMSS logistics team will work with the Contractor and the CBP Asset Management Team to complete a wall-to-wall inventory of every asset at the Federal Aviation Administration Logistics Center Warehouse located in the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as well as the CBP Southwest Field Office in Tucson, Arizona.
Four Critical events in support of this Phase include:
· August 17, 2026: AMSS Logistics Team will commence a 100% inventory of all Program assets, spare parts, equipment and electronics at the FAALC Warehouse and SWFO. The findings will be compared against ILSS and excess items identified and designated for disposal and/or decommission.
· TBD, the AMSS Logistics Team will conduct a joint inventory with the Contractor to verify the August 17th findings and address any discrepancies in ILSS.
· NLT February 12, 2027, a joint inventory between the FAALC and AMSS Logistics team will identify those items critical for continuous mission support to be set aside, to ensure no disruption in CBP operations during the shipment of all remaining items to the Contractors new designated warehousing facility.
By TBD, a joint wall-to-wall inventory of all Government Furnished Equipment, Line Replaceable Units, Spare Parts, Components and electronics will be completed by the Contractor and the AMSS logistics team and will be validated against the ILSS data prepared by CBP Asset Management Team.
This process will enable the Contractor to verify the entire inventory while ensuring no disruption in sustainment support to the field while AMSS transitions away from the Federal Aviation Administration.
Phase 5 – Transfer of Property After Contract award the Contractor will finalize all transition documents and oversee the transfer of AMSS GFE, LRUs, Spare Parts and electronics to their new designated warehousing facility. During this phase, the Contractor again conduct a formal and complete inventory validation of all transferred GFE with the CBP Asset Management Team. Contractor will work with CBP to resolve any anomalies or discrepancies between shipping manifests and the physically received assets, perform functional testing to verify operability, assess the condition of each item, and then dispose of any unserviceable or obsolete materials.
Contractor will formally accept all GFE into their property system from the DHS 700-21 Receiving and Inspection Report, updating every asset's location and status within ILSS and the inventory spreadsheets to reflect the accurate, verified baseline.
At the conclusion of this phase, all data from the initial field sustainment push and the GFE validation will be consolidated to establish the official performance baseline for the contract.
This baseline will provide a complete and accurate picture of the initial operational condition of the mobile surveillance systems and the complete GFE inventory. This will serve as the starting point from which all future improvements in system Ao and overall sustainment performance will be measured.
This process will allow the Contractor to verify the entire inventory and control the strategic deployment of mission ready spares to the Field Level sustainers in each Sector.
Phase 6 – Training NLT, TBD Contractor will coordinate with the CBP Contracting Officer Representative to secure virtual training and obtain access to the ILSS website for all required personnel. Beginning TBD, the AMSS logistics team will assist Contractor in obtaining required operational and sustainment training on all supported AMSS surveillance platforms for critical personnel. Contractor will be responsible for all future scheduling, conduct and maintenance of all required training and certifications.
Phase 7 – Assumption of Responsibility NLT TBD, the Contractor will Execute and assume responsibility for CLS to the AMSS program. To support field and logistics operations, Contractor will work with CBP to formally transition all necessary data and documentation. This includes the assumption for access to all historical maintenance and service records AMSS Technology within ILSS, TRIRIGA CMPro and/or assigned applicable systems of record, which is critical for establishing the new performance baseline and validating the initial sparing models.
