NIGP 99297: X-Ray Equipment Testing and Calibration Services

NIGP 99297 X-Ray Equipment Testing And Calibration Services, an Item code, encompasses maintenance, inspection, and repair services for specialized X-ray systems used in state and local facilities, particularly at transportation and security checkpoints. The work involves highly technical servicing of proprietary X-ray inspection equipment — such as Rapiscan 600 and 900 series systems, VOTI XR3D, and Gemini units — requiring specialized knowledge of complex X-ray technology. Issuing bodies under this code include county aviation departments and other state and local agencies operating security and inspection infrastructure that depend on advanced imaging equipment.

Broward County Aviation Department posted a Request for Information (RFI) on June 25, 2026, with responses due July 28, 2026, to determine whether maintenance and repair services for its Rapiscan and related X-ray inspection systems are available from sources other than the equipment manufacturer or whether comparable alternate systems exist. The County designated the notice as intent to procure sole source or sole brand, recognizing that these systems are proprietary and licensed exclusively by Rapiscan. The RFI invited prospective vendors to demonstrate capability to meet or exceed the County's requirements or to contest the sole-source designation by providing documentation of multi-source availability or comparable alternatives. Vendors responding through the County's electronic bidding system were required to upload supporting documentation; the Director of Purchasing retained final authority to determine comparability and notify all submitting vendors of the sole-source decision.
