Remote and extreme environments
– Facility operations are in hard to build areas with no existing infrastructure
– Environments are hard on the structures over time
Land-locked ports, difficult to expand
No downtime - must recapitalize and operate facilities at the same time
Required integration with domestic and bi-national transportation infrastructures
Integration with technology programs
Special-purpose uses require many types of unique design standards– Law enforcement: inspection and detention – Tactical Infrastructure: border fences, roads, and utilities
What makes CBP facilities so complex?
10
Our Nation’s “ports” serve as the frontline in defending the American public against terrorists and instruments of terror while facilitating the lawful movement of goods and people across the border. The portfolio consists of:
167 Land Ports of Entry (LPOE) Two-thirds of the LPOE portfolio is owned or leased by the U.S.
General Services Administration (GSA); CBP owns or leases the remaining
Congress appropriates funds for modernizing the land ports through GSA’s Federal Buildings Fund or special appropriations like the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)
261 Air Ports of Entry Air ports provide free space to CBP so that CBP Officers can conduct
inspections; at most, CBP must outfit the space with technology and security equipment
203 Sea Ports of EntrySea ports provide free space to CBP so that CBP Officers can conduct
inspections; CBP must outfit the space with technology and security equipment

Air and Marine Facilities (AMF) AMF provides facilities solutions to support CBP’s Air & Marine operational mission
requirements.
Facilities requirements include major construction, alterations, lease acquisition, maintenance, repairs, and operations projects to support a mix of air hangars, boat slips, training facilities, and administrative space.
World’s largest civilian aviation and maritime law enforcement organization:• 24 Branches• 14 Air Units• 30 Marine Units• 8 National Facility Centers• 4 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Operations Centers
• Leading edge deployment of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in the national airspace

Border Patrol Facilities & Tactical Infrastructure (BPFTI)
BPFTI provides the Border Patrol with material solutions and maintenance for facilities and tactical infrastructure that will support the organization in performing its primary homeland security mission.
Portfolio• 144 Border Patrol Stations (BPSs)• 20 Sector Headquarters• 58 Checkpoints• 17 Forward Operating Bases (FOBs)
Tactical Infrastructure (TI) Program• The TI Program is the largest construction program within DHS• As of December 2011, CBP has constructed over 650 miles of pedestrian and vehicle fence along the
Southwest border• Additional TI projects: Fencing and gates, roads and bridges, drainage structures and grates, lighting
and electrical systems, and vegetation and debris removal• Tunnel remediation: Those activities required to physically secure cross-border tunnels. Facing
increased security at and between ports of entry, smugglers have increasingly used underground tunnels to transport drugs, weapons, people, and other contraband items
