The City of Atlanta Department of Aviation is seeking an AI-assisted technology solution to enhance the identification of prohibited items during employee X-ray screening at Atlanta Airport. The primary objective is to improve the effectiveness and consistency of Automated Weapons Screening while minimizing operational disruptions. The selected solution must utilize a non-invasive image acquisition method and integrate with existing Smith Detection Hi-Scan 6040i units manufactured in 2003 and 2004 to provide a uniform operator experience. Key deliverables include real-time image acquisition, threat overlays and alerts, operational analytics, event logging, and comprehensive deployment services such as site surveys, installation, and administrator training. This procurement is conducted as a multi-step competitive sealed bidding process. Phase I focuses on a pass/fail evaluation of a Statement of Qualifications, requiring offerors to demonstrate at least one completed project integrating AI-assisted threat detection with X-ray equipment. Shortlisted offerors will proceed to Phase II, an Invitation for Bids, where they will submit pricing and must meet all responsiveness requirements. Award will be granted to the most responsible and responsive offeror. Compliance requirements include submitting an Attestation of Financial Capability, proof of SAM.gov registration, and adherence to the City's Office of Contract Compliance, EBO, and EEO programs. Bid security must be provided via a surety bond or certified funds, and all performance and payment bonds must be underwritten by a U.S. Treasury Circular 570 listed company.
