Detection Devices and Drug Test Kits for Drug Inspections

The contract supports the final year of maintenance for contraband detection kits and specialized tools employed by Colombia’s Anti-Narcotics Directorate to identify concealed drugs at seaports and airports. This effort includes ongoing technical support, calibration, and servicing of existing equipment to ensure operational readiness and accuracy in drug interdiction efforts. In addition to maintenance, the contract encompasses the procurement of new detection kits tailored for identifying hidden compartments and substances, ensuring that field personnel have access to the latest technology. Comprehensive training programs are also integral to the scope, equipping inspectors with the skills to effectively operate, interpret results from, and maintain the advanced detection systems in high-pressure operational environments. All activities under this agreement are coordinated through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs within the U.S. Department of State, with performance centered in Bogotá. The contract falls under the NAICS code for professional, scientific, and technical services, reflecting the specialized nature of the technical support and equipment integration required. Point of contact for inquiries is Jamillah Timmons, with Tyler Sinclair overseeing small business participation. The procurement is forecasted as part of the FY26 planning cycle, though official solicitation details are not yet available, and the funding originates from U.S. international law enforcement assistance initiatives aimed at strengthening Colombia’s counter-narcotics capabilities.
