Revised 01 APRIL 2025 Statement of Work Procurement of Walk-Through Metal Detectors

1. Scope

Terrorism threats exist which endanger the assets and personnel of the US Navy. Walk through screening is necessary at entry control points (ECPs) for high value assets to eliminate threats such as: handguns or ammunition and components of ammunition, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) with frag or components, and knives with blades 4” or greater. Walk through screening is intended to eliminate these threats at ECPs, distant from the naval assets. These threats can exist in hand-carried items, personal baggage, and uploaded cargo (30” cube or smaller).

The purpose of the requirement is to provide the US Navy with the capability to determine the presence of, or confirm absence of, threats on Navy Personnel and high value assets at ECPs under specified Environmental or Operational Conditions to protect naval assets. The primary use of these walk-through metal detectors (WTMD) is at ECPs of a ship or at a naval facility prior to entry to high value buildings or personnel areas.
