About this opportunity
U.S. Customs and Border Protection intends to award a sole-source contract to an undisclosed vendor for aerostat envelopes supporting the Tethered Aerostats Radar System (TARS) program within Air and Marine Operations, with award scheduled for September 30, 2026.
The justification invokes 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR Subpart 6.103-1, citing that only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements and no other supplies or services will meet the need. The acquisition is categorized under PSC 1550 (Unmanned Aircraft). Funding is allocated through PC&I accounts for fiscal years 2026 and 2027–2028. The J&A document contains substantially redacted sections covering contractor identification, location, estimated total value, technical qualifications, and market research findings across large business, small business, and small disadvantaged business categories. The contracting officer and technical/requirements personnel must certify that supporting data is accurate and complete. Final approval authority rests with the Procuring Activity Advocate for Competition when the action value exceeds $900,000 but does not exceed $20 million.
