NIGP 03595: X-Ray Scanner, Passenger Baggage

NIGP 03595 X-Ray Scanner, Passenger Baggage is an Item code describing equipment and integrated services for screening carry-on and checked baggage at airports and transportation security checkpoints. State and local governments procure these systems as capital assets for airport terminal operations, correctional facility contraband detection, and school security screening, typically bundled with delivery, installation, operator training, and multi-year maintenance or service agreements. The issuing-body mix spans city airports, state departments of corrections, county aviation departments, school districts, and special-purpose districts; Maine Department of Corrections, Broward County Aviation Department, Utah Department of Corrections, Kentucky Department of Corrections, and Polk County Schools appear in recent activity. Procurement approaches vary from competitive RFPs seeking turnkey solutions with performance and training components (Maine, Polk County) to RFIs testing sole-source justifications for proprietary systems (Broward County) to notices of intent to award without competition (Utah, under LineV Systems). Work scopes emphasize compliance with radiation safety standards, data security for personally identifiable information, integration with agency IT infrastructure and single-sign-on requirements, and specialized technical support for complex X-ray detection technology.
