About this opportunity
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued a Special Notice for Tactical Infrastructure (TI) Maintenance services along the U.S./Mexico Border in three Texas Border Patrol Sectors: Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, and Del Rio/Big Bend South. This is a Competitive 8(a) set-aside opportunity that was initially posted in March 2025 with site visits conducted in April 2025, and has been reactivated as of September 17, 2025 for informational purposes only. The maintenance services encompass a comprehensive range of infrastructure categories including roads and bridges, fences and gates, vegetation control, debris removal, border lighting and electrical systems, drainage systems, tunnel remediation, tactical infrastructure attributes, and generators. CBP intends to award a single contract covering all three geographic sectors, requiring contractors to provide all necessary services, personnel, materials, equipment, and facilities not otherwise furnished by the government.
The Special Notice served to inform interested 8(a) contractors about the upcoming solicitation and facilitate mandatory site visits that were conducted across all three sectors in April 2025, with attendance at all three locations being required for eligibility. CBP anticipates issuing the formal Request for Proposal (RFP) in early 2026, with no responses being accepted at the current time. The opportunity falls under multiple NAICS codes including 238990, 237990, 238910, and 237310, reflecting the diverse nature of the maintenance and construction services required. Contractors who attended all mandatory site visits qualified to participate in Phase I of the selection process, which includes phone interviews to be scheduled after the RFP release. The acquisition addresses critical border security infrastructure maintenance needs across extensive geographical areas, supporting CBP's operational requirements for maintaining tactical assets along the southern border.
