Sierra Blanca Border Patrol Checkpoint OB3A

A design-build contractor is required to deliver a new eight-lane U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint near mile marker 94 on I-10 Eastbound in Sierra Blanca, Texas, featuring three non-commercial and five commercial primary inspection lanes with matching secondary inspection capabilities. The scope includes siting and adapting U.S. Customs and Border Protection design standards to the location, constructing a main checkpoint building accommodating 18 agents and 40 detainees, and providing all associated infrastructure such as inspection canopies, non-intrusive inspection areas, support buildings, short-stay kennels, a seizure lot, site grading, water and wastewater systems, backup power, technology systems, and comprehensive security measures. All work must fully comply with Department of Homeland Security and CBP design guidelines to ensure operational readiness for current and future demands, resulting in a fully integrated, code-compliant facility. The procurement will be executed under the Design-Build OB3 IDIQ contract via competitive bidding among the ten pre-qualified contractors on that contract vehicle, with no set-aside for small or disadvantaged businesses. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction. The project is managed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection under the Department of Homeland Security, with primary point of contact Brendan Bowman and alternate Aron Beninghove available for inquiries, and Ivette Jorge serving as the Small Business Specialist. The place of performance is firmly established in Sierra Blanca, Texas, with all deliverables expected to meet strict federal standards without deviation.
