The Low Energy Portals Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award vehicle established by the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for procuring non-intrusive inspection scanning systems at United States ports of entry. The contract covers low energy portal equipment, including x-ray scanning systems for pre-primary and secondary passenger vehicles, buses, and trucks, along with associated maintenance and training services. The vehicle supports CBP's Non-Intrusive Inspection program by enabling the acquisition of advanced scanning technologies to enhance border security screening capabilities.

The contract, valued at $390 million, has been awarded to multiple prime contractors including Astrophysics Inc., Rapiscan Systems Inc., and Leidos, Inc. Task orders range significantly in value, with recent awards spanning from approximately $4.4 million to $108.9 million. These delivery orders typically have extended performance periods, often ranging from 10 to 12 years, and are consistently structured as firm fixed-price contracts. The task orders have been geographically dispersed, with recent awards targeting specific locations such as the Gordie Howe International Bridge and broader regional implementations. None of the task orders to date have utilized specific small business set-asides, and all have been issued under the NAICS code 334517 for Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing, indicating a focus on specialized technical equipment for security screening.
