Portable or Deployable Inspection Unit Fabrication

The contract seeks the fabrication of portable, ruggedized inspection units designed for field deployment at critical supply chain checkpoints including warehouses, ports, and pharmacies. These units must integrate advanced sensing technologies with artificial intelligence capabilities to enable real-time, automated inspection and analysis of goods, ensuring security, compliance, and efficiency in high-traffic logistics environments. The system must be durable enough to operate reliably under varied environmental conditions and be easily deployable without requiring extensive infrastructure. The work is being pursued as a subcontract under the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, an entity within the Department of Health and Human Services, with the NAICS code 332999 indicating classification under other fabricated metal product manufacturing. The solicitation was published on July 28, 2026, and responses are due by August 20, 2026, with performance expected to center around the Washington, D.C. area, specifically the 20005 zip code. The project reflects a focus on enhancing public health supply chain resilience through innovative, next-generation inspection technology.
