About this forecast
U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Office of Field Operations is procuring a Digital Twin Proof of Concept through the Homeland Security Systems Engineering and Development Institute III FFRDC contract 70RSAT26D00000001, with solicitation release on September 28, 2026 and award estimated for September 30, 2026. The effort will create high-fidelity three-dimensional virtual representations of ports of entry and Border Patrol checkpoints to evaluate technology placement, infrastructure constraints, traffic flow impacts, and installation scenarios in a virtual environment before committing to physical construction or equipment deployment. The Digital Twin will support planning for Office of Field Operations National Infrastructure Initiative technology, biometric capabilities, and other large-scale technology deployments at space-constrained and aging CBP facilities.
The estimated award value ranges from $2 million to $5 million on a Time and Materials basis for performance from September 30, 2026 through June 14, 2027 at up to 10 ports of entry and two U.S. Border Patrol checkpoints in Washington, DC. For requirements questions, contact James Thompson at james.h.thompson@cbp.dhs.gov or 202-344-1564; for technical questions, contact Christina Matias, Mission Support Specialist, at christina.j.matias@cbp.dhs.gov or 202-555-1234.
Forecast text
The Office of Field Operations is pursuing a Digital Twin Proof of Concept (PoC) with the aim of enhancing planning for OFO NII technology, biometric capabilities, and other large scale technology deployments at CBP facilities. The effort will help CBP address challenges associated with deploying the technology to space constrained and aging facilities. The Digital Twin capability will create high-fidelity, three-dimensional virtual representations of the facilities using advanced imaging and modeling methods. These models will allow CBP to evaluate potential technology placement, infrastructure constraints, traffic flow impacts, and installation scenarios in a virtual environment before committing to physical construction or equipment deployment.
By using a digital twin, CBP will be able to visualize current site conditions, test multiple scanner and camera placement options, evaluate operational impacts, and identify potential conflicts earlier in the planning process. The simulation findings are expected to help CBP develop more accurate cost and schedule estimates for future technology deployments while also mitigating risk for potential future cost overruns. The POC will be conducted at up to 10 ports of entry and two U.S. Border Patrol checkpoints.
Acquisition Strategy: Utilizing IDIQ number is HSSEDI III contract 70RSAT26D00000001.
