About this forecast
Customs and Border Protection is procuring an expansion of Passive Radio Frequency Data as a Service to support its Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program, with solicitation release estimated for August 31, 2026, and award anticipated September 30, 2026. The expansion extends RF detection, identification, monitoring, and tracking capabilities across five additional border sectors—Rio Grande Valley East, Laredo, El Paso, Yuma, and Blaine—to counter unmanned aircraft systems threats including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations, illicit material transport, physical attacks, and cyber infrastructure attacks. This is a total small business set-aside firm fixed-price definitive contract with sole-source award authority.
Award value is estimated between $5 million and $10 million, with performance running from September 30, 2026, through September 29, 2027, at Summit Point, West Virginia.

Forecast text
The Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) Program will provide capability to counter threats from UAS by detecting, identifying, monitoring, and tracking UAS; warning the UAS operator; disrupting control of the UAS; seizing or exercising control of the UAS; seizing or confiscating the UAS; and using reasonable force to disable, damage, or destroy the UAS. The C-UAS program is intended as a materiel solution which will provide capabilities to detect (find), track (fix), and mitigate (finish) UAS threats and negate nefarious actions such as: conducting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) against targets (e.g., DHS facilities, assets, and operations, critical infrastructure, mass gatherings); transporting illicit materials across U.S. borders (e.g., drugs, weapons, cash); conducting physical attacks (e.g., kinetic, weapons of mass destruction) against targets in the U.S.; and conducting attacks on U.S. cyber infrastructure.
The C-UAS Program has a requirement for expanding Radio Frequency (RF) Data as a Service (DaaS) to five additional Sectors – Rio Grande Valley East, Laredo, El Paso, Yuma and Blaine.
