BORSTAR Rollout Kits

The Solicitation Notice is for BORSTAR Rollout Kits issued by the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection (CBP), targeting manufacturers of special purpose clothing and miscellaneous manufacturing goods. The contract opportunity is specifically seeking small businesses to provide kit assemblies, likely related to border patrol emergency response equipment. The solicitation was posted on April 28, 2025, with proposals due by May 1, 2025, indicating a very tight submission window of approximately three days. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided notice, the procurement appears focused on small business vendors capable of producing specialized equipment for Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue (BORSTAR) operations. The NAICS classification of 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing) suggests a broad manufacturing capability is required.

The solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small business entities are eligible to compete for this contract opportunity. The place of performance is located in El Paso, Texas (79918), which aligns with the border patrol regional context. The procurement falls under Product Service Code (PSC) 8415 for Clothing, Special Purpose, indicating these are not standard commercial garments but specialized equipment for tactical or emergency response use. While specific award values or precise quantities are not provided in the notice, the specificity of the BORSTAR Rollout Kits implies a targeted, potentially high-value procurement for critical operational equipment. The short timeline between posting and proposal due date suggests this is an urgent requirement with potential immediate deployment needs for border patrol emergency response teams.
