Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Low Energy Drive Thru System

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeking to procure three distinct types of low-energy drive-through scanning systems designed for different inspection needs at border checkpoints. Type 1 systems are compact and intended for high-traffic areas where pre-primary and post-primary scanning are needed. Type 2 systems are larger and provide multiple x-ray views to facilitate more detailed secondary inspections. Type 3 systems are specialized to handle larger vehicles such as buses and trucks/semi-trailers, enabling thorough inspections of these conveyances. These systems will utilize low-energy x-rays to scan vehicles while allowing drivers to remain safely inside, enhancing detection capabilities for contraband including illicit drugs, illegal weapons, and unauthorized currency. The solicitation for this contract, identified as "Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Low Energy Drive Thru System" under solicitation number 03C20R0127, was posted on July 1, 2020, with an anticipated release date for the solicitation on August 3, 2020. The contract falls under the NAICS code 334517 and is managed by the Border Enforcement Contracting Division within the Department of Homeland Security, headquartered in Washington, DC. Interested parties can contact David Banks for further information. This acquisition focuses on advancing CBP’s inspection technologies to improve operational efficiency and security at border inspection points.
