About this IDV

Smiths Detection Inc., Edgewood Division, a UK-based subsidiary of Smiths Group PLC, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency under the Multi-Energy Portal Systems (MEP) vehicle on March 2, 2021. This contract represents one of three awards under a consolidated IDIQ with a combined ceiling value of $480 million across all awardees through the ultimate completion date of November 15, 2026. The procurement was conducted on a full and open competitive basis with no set-aside designation, following a pre-solicitation notice issued in June 2020 that outlined CBP's intent to establish multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts for MEP systems to support DHS CBP locations nationwide. The contract structure includes a 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods, establishing a flexible framework for indefinite quantities of Multi-Energy Portal systems and associated products/services over the 60-month performance window. Smiths Detection specializes in advanced threat detection and security screening technologies, including X-ray inspection equipment, explosive trace detection devices, radiation monitors, and chemical agent detection systems critical to border security operations.

Four delivery orders have been issued against this IDIQ contract to date, representing total contract values of approximately $52.2 million. These delivery orders include: a $27.6 million firm fixed-price order (P00012) for Multi-Energy Portal systems in Mission, Texas, with performance extending through September 27, 2033; a $9.6 million minimum buy requirement delivery order for a single Multi-Energy Portal at the Laredo, Texas port of entry, with completion targeted for September 30, 2031; a $7.63 million order (P00008) for a Multi-Energy Portal System at the Port of Buffalo Peace Bridge facility in Buffalo, New York, completing July 31, 2027; and a $7.32 million order (P00007) with a no-cost modification establishing a 50-percent milestone payment structure for long-lead equipment and satisfactory completion at the Edgewood, Maryland facility, with performance through September 30, 2026. These delivery orders reflect CBP's strategic deployment of advanced screening systems across critical U.S. ports of entry and border crossing facilities to enhance supply chain security and threat detection capabilities.
