# CBP Awards VirTra Simulation Support Contract

U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced on October 6, 2026, a sole-source, five-year contract with VirTra, Inc. for maintenance, modernization, and support of CBP’s installed simulation systems. The contract has a maximum potential value of $14 million, which is a ceiling rather than guaranteed revenue, and upgrades are scheduled to begin in Q1 2027. VirTra also received a separate $1.5 million U.S. Army firearms-training support award in August 2026, illustrating demand across federal agencies for sustainment and upgrades to training systems.

- The CBP work covers ongoing system support and modernization; planned upgrades include hardware and projection-system updates, software updates, accessory refreshes, service visits, and remote technical support.
- Companies pursuing federal training-system work can use the award to gauge agency demand for lifecycle support and modernization, while recognizing that the sole-source award does not represent an open competition.
- The $14 million ceiling should not be treated as committed spending. No solicitation or new bidding opportunity is identified in the signal.
