Quick Summary
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), under the Department of Homeland Security, intends to award a sole source task order modification to ISS Action Inc. for Ground Transportation and Guard Services in the Arizona and California Corridor. This action extends the period of performance on an existing task order, citing unique and highly specialized service requirements.
Purpose & Scope
CBP requires continued transportation and guard services, including certified, armed transportation officers and specialized vehicles equipped with detention packages, camera systems, and communication systems. These services are critical for the movement and security of detainees along the United States Southwest Border within the Arizona and California Corridor (Tucson, Yuma, El Centro, and San Diego Border Patrol sectors). The extension is deemed essential to prevent diversion of USBP Agents from mission-critical duties and for the safety of human life and protection of property.
Contract Details
- Type: Firm Fixed-Price Task Order Modification (Sole Source)
- Contract Vehicle: GSA Schedule Contract GS-07F-072GA
- Current Contractor: ISS Action Inc.
- Set-Aside: Not Applicable (Sole Source Justification)
- Place of Performance: Arizona and California Corridor (Tucson, Yuma, El Centro, San Diego Border Patrol sectors)
- Published: March 25, 2026
Justification for Sole Source
CBP justifies this sole source modification under GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(1)(ii) due to the unique and highly specialized nature of the services. Market research indicated no other immediately available contractors possess the capacity, specialized vehicles, or approximately 130 trained, armed drivers required. Significant preparation and ramp-up time are necessary for full operation, which ISS Action Inc. already provides. The extension is critical to avoid service disruption and potential harm to detainees, CBP personnel, and government property.
