CBP awards Anchorage's Teya Diversified $5.24 million for Willow Creek border port repairs

Teya Diversified Services LLC, an Anchorage contractor, has been awarded a $5.24 million federal contract to repair the Willow Creek Land Port of Entry, a border crossing where U.S. Customs and Border Protection inspects travelers and cargo. The award period runs from Sept. 29, 2026, through Sept. 28, 2027. The record does not state the port's exact location, the scope of the repairs, or how much has been paid to date.

CBP also awarded Teya $3,947,827 to replace current units with eight new incinerators and to provide training. Separately, it awarded Anchorage's TDS Frawner LLC $900,000 for Alaska housing maintenance and $429,415 for repairs to front decks and stairs of housing units. The four awards total $10,519,415.

Alaska News previously covered CBP's $23.3 million in Teya awards for northern border port repairs: 118 repair tasks at nine ports, 115 at 10 ports, and 164 at 12 ports.

CBP operates 167 land ports of entry and owns and maintains 40 of them, according to a June 2024 Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General report. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act appropriated $100 million for procurement, construction and improvements at CBP-owned ports. The report found CBP spent $60 million on contracts in fiscal years 2022 and 2023, while 25 priority, critical and life-safety repairs, including fire and electrical code violations, went unaddressed; some funds instead went to painting and furniture.

The inspector general also found CBP had skipped facility condition assessments, periodic inspections that record building deficiencies, for more than eight years at five of its owned ports. Thirty-eight repairs categorized as critical or life-safety issues were later recategorized as noncritical. CBP set Sept. 30, 2025, as its target for new repair-prioritization guidance; available material does not show whether it met that target.

The award record does not indicate whether Willow Creek is a CBP-owned port or whether its repairs include items the inspector general's report flagged. Neither document establishes a link between them.
