Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, as Tactical Infrastructure Maintenance Solutions holds CBP’s Tucson Sector tactical infrastructure maintenance and repair contract (70B01C21D00000023) valued at $58,738,440 for 07/19/21–08/15/26, with additional funded task orders/options including $20,399,622 for unscheduled maintenance and $3,208,641 for scheduled maintenance during 08/16/24–08/15/26. The prior work description closely matches the current scope—maintenance, repair, and improvement of Tucson TI assets across roads and bridges; fence and gates (including concertina wire); vegetation control; debris removal; border lighting/electrical; drainage/grate systems; and tunnel remediation—indicating the new effort is likely a continuation of the same Tucson TI maintenance program with scheduled and unscheduled execution tiers.
