U.S. Customs and Border Protection has obligated $1,313,227,200 to SLS Federal Services LLC under a delivery order signed June 26, 2026, for "Border Wall Construction for TCA-5 TON," according to federal spending data. The task order was issued by CBP's Administration Facilities Training Contracting Division under U.S. Border Patrol funding, with a base and all-options value of up to $2,214,283,200.

The award is CBP's Tucson 5 Wall Project, which the agency's Smart Wall program lists as covering approximately 62 miles of primary border wall system in the Tucson Sector. Place of performance is listed as Pima County, Arizona (Tucson). SLS Federal Services LLC, based in Galveston, Texas, operates as a federal-contracting affiliate of SLSCO Ltd., a firm that has held prior CBP border-wall construction awards in Texas and Arizona.

For GovCon practitioners, the award is another data point in CBP's continued Smart Wall build-out along the southwest border, following separate 2026 awards in the Tucson Sector to Fisher Sand & Gravel Co. (Tucson 3) and Sundt Construction (Tucson 4). The task order was competed under CBP's multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity construction vehicle (contract 70B01C26D00000003); federal records show two offers were received and the award was made on a firm-fixed-price basis after full and open competition among vehicle holders, with no small-business set-aside. The work is classified under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and product/service code Y1PZ (Construction of Other Non-Building Facilities).

Period of performance runs from June 26, 2026 to September 14, 2027. A July 22, 2026 modification to the order incorporated bond-requirements contract language but made no change to the obligated amount.
