The 2019 appropriation funded a lot of high priority border wall in the Rio Grande Valley - but required the Federal Government to "Consult" with the local Governments in five named places (towns), on the barrier's route in their towns.
This contract award fills the more rural gaps between the required consultation areas in those towns.
CBP reports that they have completed the required consultation with the towns, so those contracts to complete the wall segments through those towns should following along soon, to build a long continuous barrier system.
In total, over 100 miles of barrier have been funded in the Rio Grande Valley - enough to shut down the area as a major corridor. Because of land acquisition delays and Legislative restrictions, contracting and construction have gone slower there, but it looks like that logjam is breaking up, and significant construction will occur there this year - supposedly, most of it was scheduled to complete this year.
I wonder if the rat candidate will run on tearing the wall down. I hope so.

Thanks Chief
Does my heart good to see this wall going up.
It's a shame it had to come to this, but what choice was there with all
the problems coming over the border.
Well, good.
