The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection awarded an indefinite delivery contract to Rapiscan Systems, Inc. to provide multi-energy portal systems. Two task orders against this contract total $169.3M to deliver one multi-energy portal each to Mission, Texas and San Luis, Arizona, for use through September 2033 and 2031 respectively. The original solicitation sought proposals for multiple ID/IQ contracts worth up to $480M to supply non-intrusive inspection systems capable of detecting contraband at ports of entry, in support of CBP's border security mission. No set-asides were specified.
As the agency responsible for border security, Customs and Border Protection requires advanced technology to facilitate trade while screening for threats. The awarded contract and subsequent task orders will provide Rapiscan's multi-energy portal inspection solutions to support these duties. The portals employ various detection methods to safely and efficiently examine cargo, vehicles and other items entering the country for illegal drugs, undeclared currency, weapons or explosives without impeding the flow of legitimate traffic.
