Southwest Border (SWB) Arizona/California Corridor (ACC) Ground Transportation and Facility Guard Services

As a component of the United States (U.S.) Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is responsible for protecting our Nation s borders to prevent terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering the U.S., while enhancing security, and facilitating the flow of legitimate trade and travel. CBP is responsible for the etection and apprehension of individuals who are inadmissible or who attempt to unlawfully enter the U.S.; stemming the flow of drugs and other contraband; protecting our agricultural and economic interests from harmful pests and diseases; protecting American business from theft of their intellectual property; and regulating and facilitating international trade, collecting import duties, and enforcing U.S. trade laws. In 2022, CBP total apprehensions were 2,378,679. Most of all apprehensions occur within the CBP Southwest Border (SWB) Sectors and Field Offices, which average 6,517 detainees per day that require transportation and guard services. Supporting this responsibility, CBP has identified requirements for detainee transportation and facility guard service capabilities that minimize the use of frontline agents and officers to perform guard and detainee transportation duties. These capabilities must deploy the most efficient mix of detention vehicles and human resources capable of adjusting to changes in transportation demand that may vary by shift, day, week, or season. The solution includes the use of Contractor support to provide the detainee transportation services to redirect agents and officers toward more traditional law enforcement duties. Contract support must strike a proper balance in terms of timeliness and efficiency when responding to the unique demands of frontline agents and officers.
