Table of Contents

Background U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is responsible for targeting, selecting, and examining railcars, high-speed trains, and cargo transported via rail systems that are deemed high risk for terrorist-related activity, smuggling of contraband, and trade law violations. CBP Officers and United States Border Patrol (USBP) Agents ensure the flow of legal and legitimate trade and travel across U.S. borders while maintaining security.

CBP has an ongoing requirement to interdict contraband, including weapons, explosives, illegal drugs, and currency, through the examination of rail conveyances and cargo containers. As part of its layered enforcement strategy, CBP officers utilize Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) systems to examine railcars and containers for illicit goods. To enhance its inspection and interdiction capabilities, CBP deploys High Energy Rail (HE Rail) large-scale fixed systems at land Ports of Entry (POE). These systems are used to inspect railcars and cargo in secondary locations and prior to arrival at primary inspection booths. This deployment aims to increase inspection capacity while improving the effectiveness and efficiency of CBP operations.

CBP’s long-term strategy for rail system security focuses on expanding the use of automated tools and processes, integrating multiple sensors, technologies, and data platforms, and leveraging advanced systems to optimize NII operations and strengthen border security efforts, trade, and travel security across rail systems.

Purpose

The purpose of this project is to deploy state-of-the-art HE Rail large-scale fixed NII systems (HE Rail Systems) to meet the CBP operational requirements and mission for rail system security. The HE Rail Systems shall meet requirements and specifications prior to deployment. Deployment of HE Rail Systems includes installation and support services for effective operational integration.

Objective

The objective of deploying HE Rail Systems is to capture high-quality, penetrative radiographic images; perform optional passive radiation detection; conduct visual imaging; and collect other critical data for railcars, cargo, and intermodal containers. HE Rail Systems will enable trained CBP law enforcement personnel to inspect rail cargo within all areas of stationary or moving trains, , for the presence of potentially illicit goods such as contraband, narcotics, materials associated with Weapons of Mass Destruction or Effect, undeclared passengers, or stowaways. The outputs from inspection using these HE Rail Systems will promote the flow of legal and legitimate trade and travel while also positioning CBP Officers and USBP Agents for law enforcement action on suspected violations.

Scope To meet CBP’s objectives, the contractor shall manufacture to specifications, deliver, install, and maintain HE Rail Systems. HE Rail Systems shall allow for vehicles to be scanned while occupied by drivers and passengers. The systems shall utilize commercial technology and adhere to Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) safety standards to ensure that exposure rates are minimized. The HE Rail System shall be a self-contained inspection system.

Additional requirements and specifications are provided in other sections of this Statement of Work (SOW) and its attachments. These requirements include the manufacture, delivery, and installation of equipment as well as associated tasks such as civil works, image formatting for compatibility with CBP systems, testing, verification, documentation, interconnectivity, lifecycle support, warranties, and logistics. Each HE Rail System will be deployed in accordance with the Concept of Operations (CONOPS) requirements specific to each land POE.

Future Task Orders (TOs) will specify the particular services, resources, equipment, supplies, and materials to be provided. TO requirements may modify certain aspects (e.g., labor qualifications, training) with prior written approval from the Contracting Officer (CO). Such modifications will apply only to the specific TO.

Period of Performance The ordering period of this multiple award IDIQ contract is five (5) years. The base year’s period of performance is twelve (12) months from the date of contract award followed by four (4) 12-month ordering periods.

Delivery Performance and delivery location include all of the relevant CBP POEs, its territories, and preclearance locations which will be identified at the Task Order (TO) level.

The contractor shall provide a planned delivery schedule within 30 days of award of a TO. Delivery of systems will begin no later than sixty (60) days from the date of execution of a TO. If there is any variation from this term, it will be specified within the TO. Coordination will be made with the CBP technical point of contact (POC) listed in SOW Section 11.3 prior to delivery. On-site operational testing shall be conducted prior to acceptance of each system as required in Attachment 05 – Testing Requirements.

To ensure effective management of NII system deployments, the contractor shall utilize the CBP Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) to track progress through the established 14-step deployment process. IMS tracking is a multi-stage Process:

(1) Initial Input: The contractor shall review the major deployment tasks already defined and outlined in the IMS and provide anticipated start and finish dates for each task at the outset of performance. This initial input shall be treated as the contractor's baseline IMS submission. Any future IMS updates shall be measured against this baseline submission.

(2) Weekly status updates: The contractor shall provide weekly status updates via Microsoft Project for all ongoing projects, ensuring accurate and timely reporting of milestones, challenges, and overall progress to support CBP’s operational objectives. CBP will provide the current IMS input file each week and the Contractor shall enter updates directly into the file and email them back according to the agreed-upon submission deadline. Weekly updates shall include: actual start and finish dates for completed or in-progress activities; updated forecasts for remaining work; dentification of any changes to plan, including schedule variances or task re-sequencing; narration of reason for changes; identification of any risks, issues or dependencies that could impact planned milestones.

(3) Bi-Weekly IMS Review Meetings: The contractor shall participate in bi-weekly IMS review meetings where they shall provide verbal project schedule updates to the government and respond to any questions or concerns that develop from the meeting.

Invoicing
