BLUF: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) awarded Fisher Sand & Gravel Co. a $2.83 billion delivery order to construct vertical border barrier, signed December 17, 2025.

The order was issued under a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract held by CBP's Office of Acquisition. The delivery order's period of performance runs from December 17, 2025 through August 31, 2028, and work is located in Elgin, Santa Cruz County, Arizona.

Why it matters: This is one of the largest single delivery orders issued under CBP's current barrier-construction IDIQ vehicle, underscoring the scale of ongoing border infrastructure spending. The order was justified under FAR 6.302-2 urgency authority, with CBP citing full-and-open competition after exclusion of sources rather than the fully open, unrestricted process. Contractors on this and adjacent CBP IDIQ vehicles should expect continued task-order activity in the Arizona border sector through 2028.

By the numbers:

• $2,833,494,611.70 total obligation (base and all options fully exercised)
• Period of performance: December 17, 2025 – August 31, 2028
• NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction)
• PSC Y1PZ (Construction of Other Non-Building Facilities)
• 2 offers received; awarded under CBP's multiple-award fair-opportunity IDIQ (parent award 70B01C26D00000012)
• Place of performance: Elgin, Santa Cruz County, Arizona (congressional district AZ-07)

The award was made through fair-opportunity competition among holders of the parent IDIQ rather than a full, unrestricted solicitation — CBP's contract data lists the extent of competition as "full and open competition after exclusion of sources," citing urgency under FAR 6.302-2. Fisher Sand & Gravel, based in Tempe, Arizona, is not designated a small business under the award's recipient classification. The delivery order was funded through CBP's Office of Acquisition.
