XL EagleCBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection)
CBP stands for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is a DHS component that secures the borders and manages trade and travel at ports of entry. It includes the Office of Field Operations, the Border Patrol, and Air and Marine Operations.
CBP buys vehicles, fuel, facility maintenance at stations and ports, detection technology, construction, and services in remote border areas.
Why it matters to a small contractor
Many CBP facilities are in remote areas where few contractors operate, so local trades can be valuable. Expect background checks for workers on site and strict security rules at ports of entry.
Example
An HVAC company near a remote Border Patrol station wins a small contract to replace rooftop units, and its technicians complete background checks before starting.
