1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this SOW is to establish an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Relocatable Passenger Vehicle Scanning Systems (RPVSS) to enable CBP to perform effective and efficient scanning passenger cars and other light vehicles in large numbers to reveal anomalies (including explosives, drugs, and currency) in high-throughput environments like border crossings. These mobile systems shall allow drivers and passengers to remain in the vehicle with the use of low dose x-ray. The RPVSS shall be capable of scanning 150 vehicles per hour or more in the normal flow of checkpoint traffic.
The system shall scan entire vehicles, bumper to bumper, in just a few seconds and shall be able to be relocated quickly with no disassembly.
1.1 Background and Scope
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations (OFO) and United States Border Patrol (USBP) requires a capability to quickly detect the illegal transit of contraband transported through people, cargo containers, and in other conveyances entering through ports of entry (POE) and at international mail and express consignment carrier facilities. Since 2014, there has been an escalation of dangerous synthetic drug usage, specifically fentanyl, in the United States. The majority of fentanyl being trafficked in the United States is produced in other countries such as China and is smuggled primarily through the international mail and express consignment carrier facilities (e.g., FedEx and UPS) and through POE along the southern land border. As America’s unified border agency, the CBP has a critical role in the Nation’s efforts to keep fentanyl, and other dangerous synthetic drugs, out of the hands of the American public while ensuring safety of CBP’s frontline officers.
1.2 Delivery
CBP estimates ordering approximately one hundred (100) Relocatable Passenger Vehicle Scanning Systems over a five (5) -year period. This IDIQ will have five (5) separate one-year ordering periods.
The Contractor shall provide a planned delivery schedule within 30 days of the award of a Delivery order. Delivery of systems shall begin no later than sixty (60) days from the date of execution of a Delivery Order. Coordination shall be made with the CBP Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and technical Point of Contact (POC) listed in SOW Section 6 prior to delivery. On-site operational testing shall be conducted prior to acceptance of each system.
The Contractor shall provide updates to the delivery schedule on a weekly basis, as well as notify the COR immediately of any delays anticipated in the delivery of a system or systems.
All deliveries shall be made Free-On-Board (F.o.b.) destination. The IDIQ will include a separate CLIN for deliveries required to be made outside of the continental United States (OCONUS). This separate CLIN will cover any additional surcharges, import/export costs, etc. related to OCONUS shipments. OCONUS locations may include pre-clearance and prescreening areas in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin and Central America.
1.2.1 Period of Performance (PoP)
The PoP of the IDIQ contract shall be for a total of 5 Years with 5 separate 1-year ordering periods.
1.3 Program Organization
This program is under the technical direction of the Large Scale Non-Intrusive Inspection (LS-NII) COR assigned to the Office of Field Operations (OFO) and Non-Intrusive Inspection Division (NIID) in coordination with CBP Office of Information Technology (OIT)/Enterprise Infrastructure and Operations Directorate (EIOD) Integrated Logistics Division (ILD).
1.3.1 Government Management Organization

3.5.4 Availability - Operational Availability (Ao)
An average Ao by unit shall be calculated using data for WOs completed during the reporting period:
AO = Total Hours by Unit – Down Time Hours by Unit
Total Hours by Unit
Operational Availability is defined as the percentage of time during the reporting period (monthly) that a specific unit serialized device listed in the contract is available to support the operations for which it was designed.
Downtime associated with preventive maintenance, accidents, incidents, or delays at the Government request are not included in the Ao calculation. The following lists the standard Ao requirements for equipment types, as defined in the definition section of this document, by location category:
96% - Large Scale Equipment (to include rail inspection) in CONUS Pre- Primary Ports of Entry locations.
95% - Large Scale NII Systems (excluding handheld technologies) in CONUS locations
90% - NII Systems (excluding handheld technologies) in OCONUS locations
The Ao shall be calculated at the system level (per serialized system). The Contractor shall also consider the pre-primary NII at CBP locations when assessing the urgency and nature of the request.
3.5.5 Customer Wait Time (CWT)
The Contractor shall restore systems reported in a non-operational status to a satisfactory operational status within the CWT corresponding to the Ao’s above, based on a 720-hour month.
WOs for work performed under on-demand (other maintenance support services) and WOs with customer delays are excluded from all the formulas above.
The Contractor shall meet or exceed these performance standards while complying with all applicable State and Federal regulations. In addition to the quality of deliverables, operational availability levels achieved, coordination, and reporting requirements represent the measurements considered appropriate to the performance of this work statement.
3.5.6 Obsolescence Report
The Contractor shall provide obsolescence notifications to the ILD as soon as possible, but no later than one (1) year in advance of a component, software, firmware, hardware, part, or peripheral associated with the system becoming obsolete, and which would cause the device to be unserviceable, unrepairable, or otherwise unsupportable.
3.5.7 Service Calls and Work Orders
All service calls and work orders apply to corrective maintenance under the warranty period, and preventative maintenance. The Integrated Logistics Division (ILD) - manages an NII Maintenance Dispatch Center (MDC) for maintenance, repair call activities, and incident management that operates 24/7/365. The NII Maintenance Dispatch Center responds to service calls from the numerous CBP locations to intake and track the calls for service in the CBP databases. The NII Maintenance Dispatch Center staff issue requests for repair or maintenance services to the Vendor in the form of a work order (WO) that initiates the maintenance request.
Work Completion Form - The WCF is a unique form to a specific maintenance event. The WCF shall include the WO number assigned by the Government, a description of the maintenance action performed, identify the failure cause or part if any, a list of replaced parts, usage data or scan count since last maintenance activity, name and email address of the Port Official that witnessed completion, and completion date/time. The Contractor shall forward both the Corrective Maintenance WCF within 24 hours and the Preventative Maintenance WCF within 48 hours to the ILD Maintenance Dispatch Center upon completion of each maintenance action, E-mail: MDC@cbp.dhs.gov. Call the Technology Service Desk (TSD) at 1- 800-927-8729, choose the option “NII and RPM” to reach the Maintenance Dispatch Center.
The Contractor shall provide one (1) copy of the completed WCF to the Government Site Representative.

3.5.8 Preventive Maintenance
The contractor shall provide Preventive Maintenance (PM) during the warranty period of each system. PM is defined as any scheduled and planned maintenance actions performed to maintain the target Operational Availability (Ao) and maintenance metrics as defined herein. Preventive Maintenance includes periodic inspections, calibration, condition monitoring, critical item replacement, and servicing requirements. Necessary repair actions discovered during the performance of a preventive maintenance action require separate corrective Work Orders (WO) from the Maintenance Dispatch Center. To the widest extent possible, all preventive maintenance shall be scheduled around port operational activities to prevent disruption to daily operations. The Preventive Maintenance Schedule which entails the number of PMs to perform during that period may also have to be adjusted based on Operational tempo.
These decisions will be communicated to the Contractor based on the direction of the Government, to include the ILD staff and the COR. Preventive Maintenance activities shall be considered fluid and maybe adjusted throughout the life of the contract based on evidence from corrective actions. In such cases, the proposed action shall be proposed and agreed upon bilaterally.
NII Monthly Preventive Maintenance Schedule – The Contractor shall provide a schedule of planned preventive maintenance actions that has been coordinated with Port Officials organized by equipment model, equipment serial number, location, estimated duration of the visit, and planned date of the preventative maintenance visit to the designated ILD Maintenance Manager and COR fifteen (15) business days prior to the beginning of the month.
Preventive Maintenance Visit Schedule – The Contractor shall provide a list of scheduled preventive maintenance visits that were conducted with maintenance action to include completed, partially completed, or not performed. The report shall be in excel format to the COR, NII Asset Manager, NII Regional Manager and Port Official. The report should include columns for WO number, equipment model, equipment serial number, location, type of maintenance, maintenance status (fully completed, partially completed, or not performed), duration of service, and monthly date of service by the 5th business day for the previous month.
3.5.9 Corrective Maintenance
The contractor shall provide Corrective Maintenance as necessary during the warranty period of each system. Corrective maintenance is defined as any maintenance activity, which is required to diagnose, correct equipment malfunctions or failures that have occurred or is in the process of occurring. This may consist of repair, restoration, or replacement of components, Desktop/Workstation support that includes password resets, application support, staff access support, and all other Desktop support that might be needed.
Corrective maintenance is an unscheduled maintenance activity caused by a unit or component failure and includes tests, measurements, and adjustments.
The Contractor shall contact site and attempt to troubleshoot each problem telephonically. If unable to meet the Customer Wait Time (CWT) as established in the metrics listed above in section 3.5.5 corresponding with the target Ao, the Contractor shall provide the justification, and a time estimate for effecting repairs to the ILD Maintenance Dispatch Center. The Contractor shall notify the ILD Maintenance Dispatch Center and provide the date and time of System Operational Status changes, Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for parts, and Contractor Technician scheduled arrival at site.
These updates to the ILD MDC are integral to successful operations and must be maintained. The Contractor must ensure that a minimum update must be made every 48 hours to the MDC even if the status is stagnant to maintain an adequate work history. Deficiencies in updates may result in contractual actions. Habitual deficiencies in the same area will be addressed with the Contractor PM for reconciliation and may result in contractual actions.
The Contractor shall coordinate site visits with the CBP ports, as required.
Corrective services may also include assessments on how system comments operate in conjunction with other CBP systems. CBP has deployed integrated and common viewer systems, providing data to other CBP applications. This means that individual systems are connected to software (SW) and hardware (HW) components of other original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The communication link and compatibility of systems needs to be evaluated in a coordinated effort with other OEMs to meet CBPs operational requirements.
