VirTra Wins Five-Year CBP Contract With Up to $14 Million in Potential Value
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VirTra, Inc. (Nasdaq: VTSI) (“VirTra” or the “Company”), a global leader in immersive, simulation-based training solutions for de-escalation, judgmental use of force and weapons proficiency, today announced that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has awarded the Company a sole-source contract to maintain, modernize and support VirTra training systems deployed throughout the agency.
The single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract carries a five-year ordering period and a maximum potential value of $14 million and represents an important opportunity for VirTra to build on its established federal customer base through modernization, technical support and long-term service. The contract ceiling reflects potential value and does not guarantee orders or revenue.
“This is an exciting milestone for VirTra and a meaningful opportunity to build on our longstanding relationship with CBP,” said John Givens, CEO of VirTra. “It demonstrates how the value of our customer relationships can extend well beyond the initial system deployment. As training requirements and technology evolve, we can help customers modernize their systems, preserve their investment in custom content and continue benefiting from VirTra’s technology and support.”
Through the program, VirTra will assess existing CBP simulators and upgrade them to current supported configurations, beginning in the first quarter of 2027. The scope includes hardware modernization, projection system upgrades, software updates, accessory refreshes, preventative maintenance, annual service visits and remote technical support.
The modernization work will preserve compatibility with CBP’s existing training content while providing access to VirTra’s current supported operating environment. This approach allows the agency to advance its training capabilities while retaining the value of its established simulation infrastructure and custom-developed scenarios.
The contract was awarded on a sole-source basis, reflecting VirTra’s ability to sustain and modernize its installed systems while maintaining compatibility with CBP’s existing training environment.
“Supporting the officers and agents who carry out CBP’s mission is a responsibility we take seriously,” Givens added. “We are proud to help keep their training systems current, reliable and ready for use across an extensive geographic footprint. This program brings together the technology, service and customer commitment that are central to VirTra’s business.”
The program will support CBP training operations across the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam and other U.S. territories.
For VirTra, the award highlights the long-term business opportunity within its installed base. By supporting customers from initial deployment through modernization and ongoing sustainment, the Company can extend customer relationships and pursue additional business as agencies invest in the continued readiness of their training systems.
