DHS: Border Patrol Tactical Equipment Cases
Challenge
DHS Customs and Border Protection (CBP) needed cases for tactical gear, NVGs, sensors, drones, and sensitive electronics for 60,000+ agents and officers. Cases must: (1) meet Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards, (2) be Berry Amendment compliant (US-sourced materials when possible, with waiver for Berry-compliant alternatives), (3) survive desert/forest/mountain/urban environments, (4) provide anti-tamper chain-of-custody, (5) integrate with DHS S&T (Science & Technology) testing program.
Solution
KeXinMaterials provided Berry-compliant / ITAR cases with: (1) MIL-STD-810H + MIL-STD-461 EMI shielded, (2) Berry Amendment waiver certified (FAR 52.225-1), (3) serialized tamper-evident seals, (4) TAA + GSA Schedule available, (5) integrated RFID + DHS asset management. Custom foam for NVGs (PVS-14), P25 radios, tactical body cameras, drones (DJI Matrice), shotguns, less-lethal munitions, K-9 equipment, sensor packages.
Result
5,000 cases deployed across 20 sectors + 60+ ports of entry. 30 months zero equipment damage. 100% chain-of-custody compliance. DHS standardized KeXinMaterials as a qualified tactical case vendor. 5-year IDIQ contract extension confirmed.
