Congress made this bill after the Nixon presidency to provide checks and balances of the legislative and executive branch. For four decades we have perpetually been in a state of emergency. The wall will just be extension of the war on drugs and terror we have been engaged in since Reagan.
Chapter 10 par. 2304 (a)1 gives the authority to the executive for defense contracts that have gone through competitive bidding.
Chapter 50 paragraph 1431-1435 allows executive branch broader powers allowing the president to make defense contracts without applicable rules.
Unless congress wishes to edited this act last modified in 1985 then the law allows the president vast powers to supply defense to the United States. Allowing congress access of costs on an annual basis.

The 1974 state of emergency act has exemptions.

Abuse of power if Trump tries to use military to build a wall when no national emergency exists. He is on shaky legal grounds. Since congress has constitutional authority over funding, legal challenges can be expected. Courts would block any illegal orders.
Trump's problem is that border security is fundamentally a law enforcement issue that doesn't require use of military. US is not at war with mexico and pentagon doesn't even recognize southern border as a national defense priority.

we have been in a state of emergency since 1985. That statute and the other 30 statutes have given the executive branch a blank check when it comes to contractors whether providing a service or product it what cover the presidency exec continually. The only check to balance whether we the USA raises our debt ceiling.
A larger issue LIES here. A wall a carrier group or renting mercs to coup some foreign nation. Congress has to approve the line of credit. So here we are Trump wants a wall and congress does not want to raise the debt ceiling so 800,000 government workers do not get paid after tomorrow but Raytheon will get their check. Haliburton. Black night security defense personal contracting. Not a problem.
Soon social security recipients, bet medicare, but contracting operations in intelligence consultants not to worry. Cause they are who have the dirt on the lawmakers. .
