Body Scanners to Inspect Aviation Passengers Carrying Narcotics

The contract entails the final year of maintenance and operator training for body scanners deployed by Colombia’s Anti-Narcotics Directorate to identify narcotics concealed by travelers at international airports. These scanners are critical to Colombia’s efforts in intercepting illicit drug trafficking through aviation channels, and the remaining support ensures continued operational effectiveness. The work includes technical upkeep, calibration, troubleshooting, and comprehensive training for Colombian personnel to independently manage and operate the equipment without external assistance. The U.S. Department of State, through its Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, is overseeing this effort as part of broader international narcotics control initiatives. The place of performance is Bogotá, Colombia, where the scanners are installed and used. The NAICS code 488190 indicates the nature of the service as related to other support activities for air transportation, underscoring the logistical and technical dimension of the support being provided. Point of contact for inquiries is Jamillah Timmons, with Tyler Sinclair designated as the Small Business Specialist, though no set-aside provisions or solicitation number are specified in the forecast data.
