The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency has obligated $556.9 million in order volume against the current pact, which is aligned to CBP's larger cloud migration effort.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency has provided industry a glimpse at how it plans to recompete a blanket purchase agreement covering support of a software environment used to vet travelers.

CBP expects to issue a final solicitation for the Traveler Processing and Vetting Software 2.0 BPA on June 17 and make an award during this calendar year’s fourth quarter, or the 2026 federal fiscal year’s first quarter.

TPVS 2.0 will have a ceiling exceeding $100 million over its potential five-year performance period, according to a Friday acquisition update notice. Work will take place over one initial base year and up to four option years.

Leidos is the incumbent on the current TPVS BPA and been obligated approximately $556.9 million in order volume since its award in 2020, according to GovTribe data. That pact is slated to expire on Sept. 1.

CBP is moving ahead with TPVS 2.0 as the agency pushes to complete its cloud computing migration effort by 2025.

Work under the new pact will involve a mix of government-furnished equipment, which is hosted on CBP’s network infrastructure, and contractor-provided software application and security services.

The agency will award the new pact through the General Services Administration’s Multiple Award Schedules program.
