# CBP Seeks Border Technology Contractors

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has five active or forecast procurement opportunities covering maritime surveillance, logistics and sustainment, controlled unmanned aircraft systems, and Border Patrol technology operations. The controlled-UAS proposal deadline is October 21 (6 days from October 15), and responses to the Border Patrol Technology Operations Contract (BPTOC) market-research request are due October 29 (14 days away). CBP expects the non-intrusive inspection (NII) equipment solicitation on November 30 and the Maritime Approaches Surveillance Systems (MAST) solicitation on December 1. Two logistics opportunities are described as 8(a) competitions, each estimated at $50 million–$100 million; MAST is estimated above $100 million.

- Companies eligible for the SDVOSB set-aside should assess the controlled-UAS requirement promptly to meet the October 21 proposal deadline; the listed point of contact is Sean Saad at CBP.
- Interested firms can use the BPTOC market-research response due October 29 to communicate relevant capabilities and inform their pursuit planning.
- The two 8(a) logistics opportunities are estimated at $50 million–$100 million each, with the NII equipment opportunity expected through OASIS+ 8(a); eligible firms should align their teaming and vehicle strategies accordingly.
- Firms pursuing larger surveillance work can plan around the expected November 30 NII and December 1 MAST solicitations. MAST is estimated above $100 million; award timing is described only as April–June, with no year specified.
