The leading contractor, the Boeing Co., Chicago, Ill., is the prime contractor on SBInet, the program to use technology to tighten US borders. It received all of the $590 million in contracts from the Bureau of Customers and Border Protection (CBP). Boeing operates under an indefinite quantity/indefinite delivery contract. Actual spending by the CBP is considerably below this overall potential contract figure, particularly since work has focused on only a 28-mile pilot section along the USMexico border. The second-ranked contractor, IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, received $410 million of its $485 million of contracts from CBP . IBM developed the Automated Commercial Environment system intended to streamline CBP’s commercial processing systems under a $1.3 billion multi-year contract. Accenture, Hamilton, Bermuda, the third-ranked contractor, is the prime contractor for the $10 billion US-VISIT immigration and border management program. The new system uses and shares biometric information to ensure identities. It tracks the entry and exit of foreign nationals at airports, seaports and border crossings. General Dynamics, ranked fourth, has a number of different projects with the Coast Guard and other DHS agencies. It is developing Rescue 21, which will provide communications along the US coastline and in the Great Lakes region, Hawaii, Guam and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The system is to be completed by 2011, replacing the old National Distress and Response System. General Dynamics is also prime contractor for the Integrated Wireless Network, the next-generation interoperable voice, data and radio network, which is being developed by the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security and Treasury. Deepwater and detention Integrated Coast Guard Systems, a joint venture between Lockheed Martin Corp., Bethesda, Md., and Northrop Grumman Corp., Los Angeles, Calif., slipped considerably from its top ranking last year. The joint venture ranked 10th this year, with $189 million in contract awards, compared to $562 million last year. The joint venture has acted as the lead contractor for the Coast Guard’s $20 billion Deepwater modernization effort. That program includes the purchase of fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, ships and unmanned aerial systems. Following management problems in the program, the Coast Guard retook control of the program in 2007. The 15 acquisition programs that were to be managed by Integrated Coast Guard Systems as part of Deepwater were cut to only two. As a result, it was to be expected that Integrated Coast Guard’s ranking would fall considerably. Both partners in Integrated Coast Guard Systems also fit within the Top 25 on their own. Lockheed Martin, ranked ninth, does a considerable amount of information technology work for DHS. Lockheed Martin is prime contractor for the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program, which involves using biometrics and fingerprints to conduct a security threat assessment and create a biometric identification for all workers with unescorted access to secure areas of vessels and ports.
