Truck Mobile Pre-Arrival Application for Office of Field Operations

The contract focuses on developing and supporting the Truck Mobile Pre-Arrival Application within the Office of Field Operations under the Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This application is integrated into the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) system and is designed to streamline the pre-arrival process for trucks at land border ports. It allows companies and drivers to input essential trip details such as trip ID, arrival date, and license plate information through the Truck Quick Response (QR) mobile app, which then generates a QR code to expedite processing. By enabling drivers to scan existing ACE barcodes to pre-populate form fields, the contract aims to reduce manual data entry and speed up border clearance procedures. In addition to QR code functionality, the contract encompasses broader application development and ongoing support for the complex cargo systems managed by the Cargo Security and Passenger Division (CSPD). Awarded through an 8(a) direct award acquisition strategy, the contract is aligned with NAICS code 541511, covering custom computer programming services. The work is performed primarily in Ashburn, Virginia, and is managed by the Department of Homeland Security’s CBP office. Key points of contact include Daniel Boylen, Natalie Wu, and Small Business Specialist David Harrod, ensuring that communication and small business engagement are well facilitated. This effort underscores the agency’s commitment to modernizing border operations through agile, technology-driven solutions that improve efficiency and reduce processing times for commercial trucking at the U.S. border.
