What makes CBP facilities so complex?

• 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

Field Operations Facilities (FOF)
Our Nations 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 GSAs 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 Entry
• Sea ports provide free space to CBP so that CBP
  Officers can conduct inspections CBP must outfit
  the space with technology and security equipment
