Motor Vehicle Operationalize RFI

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to conduct market research for motor vehicle operationalization (upfitting) services. This RFI, numbered 111111-11111 and issued on November 12, 2025, seeks to gather information from industry experts on commercially available upfit options that align with CBP’s specialized law enforcement operations. The goal is to enhance the acquisition strategy, improve timeliness, and define deliverables for law enforcement vehicle transformations, which include integrating essential equipment such as lights, sirens, communication systems, and weapon storage. The RFI emphasizes compliance with GSA and CBP standards, aiming to expand services to vendors capable of meeting high-quantity demands while maximizing vehicle performance, safety, and efficiency. Responses will guide CBP in refining its fleet operationalization acquisition strategy and are due by December 12, 2025, at 5:00 PM EDT.

This document outlines the standard features required for a CBP (Customs and Border Protection) marked vehicle upfit package, covering various SINs (Service Identification Numbers). The package includes essential components such as a wire and hardware package, an equipment mounting plate, and a DHS branding decal kit with fleet number and "Honor First" trademark. Key security and safety features include an interior flush-mounted security partition, rear cargo barrier, robust window security screens, aluminum door skins, plastic detainee seats with door-facing seat belts, and a manual locking device for rear passenger doors. Electrical components are designed to prevent shorting, and a dual gun Blac Rac equivalent assembly with safety trigger guard is specified. The vehicle also requires a multi-color LED lightbar with solar charger and traffic advisor, front and rear intersection lights, alternating headlight and taillight flashers, and a standard siren with traffic advisor controller. Interior features include protective floor mats, a programmable battery saver, and a Syn Tech AIMS Module or FIT COMPASS Device for telematics. Additional items include a credit card pouch, 35% window tint, interior side-facing lights, and a standard fuel fee for delivered vehicles. A mobile TAK device mount with Juggernaut case and single versus multiband antennas are also part of the requirements.
