NIGP 03595: X-Ray Scanner, Passenger Baggage

NIGP 03595 X-Ray Scanner, Passenger Baggage is an Item code covering the procurement, maintenance, warranty, and operation of X-ray scanning equipment deployed in baggage-screening, correctional-facility security, and airport terminal settings by state and local government agencies. State and local governments buy complete baggage-handling system operations and maintenance services—including X-ray scanning hardware integrated with carousel devices, bag-jam clearing, manual encoding, and 24/7 software and hardware support—as well as extended warranties and maintenance plans for proprietary X-ray scanner systems, and full-body scanner systems for correctional facilities equipped with metallic and non-metallic contraband detection capabilities and radiation-safety compliance certifications. Issuing bodies span airport authorities, county corrections departments, state corrections departments, county aviation departments, and municipal airport operators. The Lee County Port Authority, Escambia County Correction, Broward County Aviation Department, State of Maine Department of Corrections, Utah Department of Corrections, and City of Amarillo have all solicited under this code recently.
