About this forecast

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeking to procure access to a Trade Enforcement Tool, a software-as-a-service platform that integrates private sector trade compliance data with CBP's internal systems to enhance trade enforcement capabilities. The tool must support CBP's targeting efforts, resource allocation, and mission efficiency by identifying risks related to forced labor violations (UFLPA), trans-shipped goods, and synthetic narcotics trafficking. The solicitation is anticipated to be released on March 31, 2026, with an estimated award date of April 30, 2026.

The estimated award value ranges from $20 million to $50 million, with a three-year estimated period of performance from April 30, 2026, through April 29, 2029. This is a Total Small Business set-aside procurement under the Software Publishers NAICS code (513210), to be performed in Washington, DC. Kimberly Heindl serves as the primary federal point of contact at (202) 430-3715 or kimberly.heindl@cbp.dhs.gov, with David K. Harrod as the Small Business Coordinator at (202) 553-6456.

This recompete follows the existing definitive contract 70B06C23C00000030 awarded to Altana Technologies Inc., a small disadvantaged business, on May 1, 2023, valued at $14.1 million with completion dated April 30, 2026. Altana's platform provides advanced supply chain data analytics and artificial intelligence solutions enabling CBP to investigate and address forced labor vulnerabilities across global supply networks. The predecessor contract represents CBP's continued investment in Altana's forced labor analytics capabilities, supplementing an earlier $9.6 million three-year contract for the same tool.

Forecast text

As U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) faces a growing need for more information, there exists private sector trade compliance platforms and technologies designed to support importers, exporters, and freight forwarders with commercial documentation, denied party screening, tariff calculation, and partner agency filing. These systems are typically optimized for transactional efficiency, cost savings, and regulatory compliance from a private sector business perspective. Access to this data greatly assists in CBP’s targeting efforts, allocation of operational resources, and overall mission efficiency. Along with public, open source, and internal CBP data, this data provided via software as a service in Altana technology solutions provides new enforcement insights to CBP that allow for improved risk segmentation. The tool maximizes revenue collection by increasing targets of opportunity to prevent goods tainted with forced labor (UFLPA violations), as well as, for identification of risk of trans-shipped goods and counter synthetic narcotics. To accomplish these objectives, CBP currently uses the Altana Trade Enforcement Tool along with other commercial and CBP internal tools.
