This is a Sole Source Justification (SSJ) document for a federal contract award by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

CBP is awarding a single-source order to Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. (located at 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, VA 22102) for the purchase of proprietary portable mobile command center hardware trademarked as EdgeXtend. The period of performance runs from July 10, 2026 through August 17, 2026, with delivery required by July 13, 2026. The procurement is conducted under the Multiple-Award Schedule Program authority per 41 U.S.C. 152(3) and 40 U.S.C. 501, with the order to be placed using General Services Administration (GSA) ordering procedures under GSAR 538.7104-3. The estimated procurement cost is redacted in the document.

CBP requires the EdgeXtend solution to support operations during the FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-finals and associated events. The agency needs specialized command center capabilities to operate in denied, disrupted, intermittent, and low-bandwidth environments while maintaining interoperable, real-time, cross-agency communications with specialized security and cyber protections. The justification asserts that Booz Allen Hamilton's EdgeXtend technology is proprietary and highly specialized, with unique features including seamless integration with CBP's existing IT infrastructure and proprietary security layers meeting stringent compliance requirements. The document certifies that no other commercially available solution offers the specific combination of portable design, real-time performance, and security features necessary for CBP's operational needs within the compressed FIFA World Cup timeline.
