Polygraph Equipment and Other Devices for Credibility Assessments

The equipment is intended to enhance investigative accuracy and operational security through objective, technology-supported evaluations of truthfulness and deception. The procurement is managed by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs within the U.S. Department of State, with point of contact Jamillah Timmons available for inquiries via email. The contract falls under NAICS code 334519 for other electronic instrument manufacturing and is forecasted under the Department of State’s FY26 procurement plan, with performance expected to take place in Bogotá. Although no solicitation number or set-aside details are provided, the initiative reflects a strategic effort to strengthen law enforcement capacity in Colombia through advanced technological means aligned with U.S. counter-narcotics and security objectives.
