About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for a sole-source task order to Chartis Consulting Corporation for the Fiber Optic Cable Installation (FOCI) II project valued at approximately $17.3 million. The one-year contract requires deploying fiber optic sensing cable along approximately 163 miles of the southern border in Tucson, Big Bend, and El Paso sectors, and approximately 27 miles along the northern border in Blaine and Spokane sectors to support the Linear Ground Detection System (LGDS) program. CBP justified the sole-source award based on Chartis Consulting Corporation's proven technical capabilities and proprietary trenching and installation methods using advanced drilling techniques in challenging geological environments. The agency determined that transitioning to another vendor would cause significant delays, increased costs, and operational inefficiencies requiring comprehensive site surveys, equipment procurement, personnel training, and security clearance processes. This project supports Executive Order 14154's mandate to complete technology coverage of at least 2,000 contiguous miles of the Southern Border by the end of Fiscal Year 2028, with CBP planning to begin market research for a competitive acquisition strategy in FY2026.
