What Does the CBP Task Order Cover?
The company said Tuesday it serves as the prime contractor, providing software development, operations, maintenance, upgrades and enhancements. The task order was issued under the General Services Administration’s Alliant 2 vehicle and runs from Sept. 15, 2026, through Sept. 14, 2031.
Prabu Natarajan, SAIC chief financial officer and interim leader of its civilian business group, said the company has worked with CBP for more than 25 years.
What Other CBP Work Has SAIC Won?
The company recently took a five-year, $199 million recompete task order for CBP’s Integrated Traveler Initiatives 2.1 program, covering technologies for processing at ports of entry and inspection checkpoints. Three companies bid on that award, which also runs under Alliant 2.
SAIC has held the ITI work since 2020, when it acquired the federal business of Unisys, which won the original contract in 2016. CBP forecasts the recompete in September 2024 at an estimated value of over $100 million.
The earlier ITI contract covered license plate readers, radio frequency identification systems, digital signage and pedestrian kiosks at ports of entry and Border Patrol checkpoints, as well as a land border integration dashboard and the maintenance of engineering and test facilities.
