NIGP 31078: Envelopes, X-Ray Film Filing

NIGP 31078 Envelopes, X-Ray Film Filing is an Item code that covers maintenance and repair services for X-ray inspection systems used in security and operational settings at state and local facilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily transportation and public-safety authorities that operate proprietary or specialized X-ray equipment — specifically airport authorities and aviation departments managing high-security inspection systems. The scope of work involves repair, maintenance, and parts support for complex X-ray technology platforms, which often involve sole-source or sole-brand constraints due to equipment licensing, warranty restrictions, and the proprietary nature of the systems. Vendors pursuing this code should expect to demonstrate technical capability in servicing specific X-ray platforms and be prepared to navigate sole-source or sole-brand designation challenges, which are common when equipment is licensed exclusively to a single manufacturer.

Broward County Aviation Department posted a representative opportunity on June 25, 2026 — RFI BLD2132311F1, due July 28, 2026 — seeking to determine whether maintenance services for Rapiscan 600 series, 900 series, VOTI XR3D, and Gemini X-ray inspection systems are available from sources other than Rapiscan or whether comparable alternate systems exist. The RFI explicitly designates the procurement as a notice of intent to procure as sole source or sole brand, inviting prospective vendors to contest that designation by uploading supporting documentation through the electronic bidding system demonstrating capability to meet requirements or establishing multi-source availability. The Broward County Director of Purchasing retains sole authority to determine comparability and will notify all submitting vendors of the final decision via the electronic bidding system. Recent activity in this code is sparse, suggesting limited volume or episodic procurement cycles driven by equipment refresh or maintenance-contract renewal rather than continuous demand.
