SECTION I SCHEDULES

I.1 DESCRIPTION:

This acquisition shall be conducted using the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 (FAR Class Deviation 25-

21) and 15 (FAR Class Deviation 26-08). U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) is soliciting proposals for supplies and services related to Multi Energy Portal (MEP) and Large Energy Portal (LEP) X-Ray systems for the Non- Intrusive Inspection (NII) Program.

CBP intends to award multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts.

The IDIQ will include a single, five-year ordering period. Orders issued against the IDIQ may include separately priced supply or service options if it is in the Government’s interest to do so.

Specifications for the supplies and services can be found in the attached Statement of Work (SOW) and Functional Requirements Document (FRD).

I.2 MINIMUM GUARANTEE:

The minimum guarantee of the anticipated contract shall be the initial Delivery Order. The Government has determined that the minimum buy for this IDIQ will be one (1) MEP or LEP system.

I.3 MAXIMUM AMOUNT:

The Government has determined that the maximum buy will be 60 systems, including purchase of all optional line items during the ordering period. The contractor is not obligated to fulfill requirements (singly or in the aggregate) that exceed $1.4 billion under this IDIQ.

The Government reserves the right to order systems as required and there is a possibility that there may be a year or years during the ordering period when an order for systems will not be initiated.

I.4 ORDERING PERIOD AND PROCEDURES:

The contract will contain a five (5) year ordering period spanning FY26 through FY31 and ten years of maintenance.

Each system will have a twelve (12) month minimum warranty. Thus, the ordering period of the IDIQ contract will not exceed five (5) years (60 months) and the effective period will not exceed fifteen (15) years. The maximum period of performance (PoP) of a delivery order will not exceed ten (10) years. The ordering period under this IDIQ is five years from the date of award. The effective period of this IDIQ, however, will begin on the date of award and will continue until completion of the final delivery order on the contract. Orders issued from this contract may have performance periods that may extend up to ten (10) years from the Government’s acceptance of the final unit under that order, if all possible options are included on that order and are exercised.

Request for Quotes

Certain orders against this IDIQ will require a vendor quote. For example, site specific installation or OCONUS shipping are not fixed at the IDIQ level. There is no required Request for Quotes format, except that any request conforms to FAR 16.505(b) ordering procedures.

Options

This contract permits option lines at the order level. If options are included in Delivery Orders, FAR clauses 52.217-7 and/or 52.217-9 will be included on the order. Orders may contain option clauses for increased quantities, systems, training, and maintenance.

Time-and-Materials

Competitive RFQs issued under this contract may include time-and-material lines, in accordance with FAR 12.207(b).

On-Demand Services

On-Demand service are within-scope services (and incidental supplies) required to complete the contract but not knowable at the time of award. These services will be contracted via a fixed-price quote to an RFQ when the need is known.

An on-demand item or service with a fixed price that is expected to recur may be added to the fixed-price schedule below via bilateral IDIQ modification once the price has been approved by the contracting officer.

Pricing for on-demand services or any other supplies or services not set in the schedule below must undergo price analysis in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(3). If no other method of determining price reasonableness is available, vendors may be required to provide other than cost and pricing data to assist in the reasonableness determination.

I.5 OBLIGATION:

The anticipated IDIQ contract does not obligate any funding. The individual DOs placed against the IDIQ contract shall obligate the funding.

SECTION II CONTRACT CLAUSES

In compliance with Executive Order 14173, “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity,” dated January 21, 2025, the contractor agrees that its compliance in all respects with applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws is material to the government’s payment decisions for purposes of section 3729(b)(4) of title 31, United States Code; and, by virtue of submitting a quote/offer, the contractor certifies that it does not operate any programs promoting DEI that violate any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws.

No requirement in this contract should conflict or contravene Executive Order “Unleashing American Energy” dated January 20, 2025. To the extent any requirement may conflict or contravene that Executive Order, the requirement is deemed inapplicable to this contract. This would include requirements related to “climate-related risk management and/or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory and/or reduction target disclosure requirements.” The Contractor should consult with the Contracting Officer on any such requirement they determine is inconsistent with the Executive Order, and work on proposed modifications to comply with the EO and statutory requirements.

*Please note that DHS FAR DEVIATIONS for the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) took effect November 28, 2025.

See FAR Overhaul - FAR Part DEVIATION Guidance | Acquisition.GOV. Any applicable updates to the FAR made pursuant to the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) and subsequently adopted by the Department of Homeland Security via Class Deviation, shall be deemed adopted and included in this contract without adjustment to price. Any clauses contained in this contract that have already been, or are later, updated in the RFO and adopted by DHS shall be considered to be amended to mirror the most up to date FAR RFO language.

FAR Class Deviation 25-01 and 25-03:

System updates may lag policy updates. The System for Award Management (SAM) may continue to require entities to complete representations based on provisions that are not included in agency solicitations, including 52.222-25, Affirmative Action Compliance. Additional examples include Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive Orders—Commercial Products and Commercial Services, and 52.213-4, Terms and Conditions— Simplified Acquisitions (Other Than Commercial Products and Commercial Services); 52.223-22, Public Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reduction Goals—Representation. Components shall not consider or use these representations.

Contracting officers will not consider the following representations when making award decisions or enforce requirements:

Paragraphs (b)(33), (b)(34), (e)(1)(ix), Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive Orders—Commercial Products and Commercial Services. Additionally, per this deviation, in paragraph (b)(46), E.O.

14057 does not appl; Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive Orders—Commercial Products and Commercial Services; and Paragraphs (a)(1)(vii) and (a)(1)(viii) of 52.213-4, Terms and Conditions— Simplified Acquisitions (Other Than Commercial Products and Commercial Services). Additionally, per this deviation, in paragraph (b)(1)(xvii), E.O. 14057 does not apply.

Entities are not required to, nor are they able to, update their entity registration to remove these representations in SAM.”

The Government may seek price discounts after award during contract performance. The intent is to ask vendors to determine if potential price reductions and/or operational efficiencies can be achieved considering market conditions of the time. Any changes to the contract would be through mutual agreement.

3, 2025) ALTERNATE I (JUL 2023)

(a) Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is any information the Government creates or possesses, or an entity creates or possesses for or on behalf of the Government (other than classified information) that a law, regulation, or Governmentwide policy requires or permits an agency to handle using safeguarding or dissemination controls. This definition includes the following CUI categories and subcategories of information:

(1) Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information (CVI) as defined in 6 CFR part 27, “Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards,” and as further described in supplementary guidance issued by an authorized official of the Department of Homeland Security (including the Revised Procedural Manual “Safeguarding Information Designated as Chemical-Terrorism Vulnerability Information” dated September 2008);

(2) Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) as set out in the Critical Infrastructure Information Act of 2002

(title XXII, subtitle B of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 as amended through Pub. L. 116–283), PCII’s implementing regulations (6 CFR part 29), the PCII Program Procedures Manual, and any supplementary guidance officially communicated by an authorized official of the Department of Homeland Security, the PCII Program Manager, or a PCII Program Manager Designee;

(3) Sensitive Security Information (SSI) as defined in 49 CFR part 1520, “Protection of Sensitive Security

Information,” as amended, and any supplementary guidance officially communicated by an authorized official of the Department of Homeland Security (including the Assistant Secretary for the Transportation Security Administration or designee), including Department of Homeland Security MD 11056.1, “Sensitive Security Information (SSI)” and, within the Transportation Security Administration, TSA MD 2810.1, “SSI Program”;

(4) Homeland Security Agreement Information means information the Department of Homeland Security receives pursuant to an agreement with State, local, Tribal, territorial, or private sector partners that is required to be protected by that agreement. The Department receives this information in furtherance of the missions of the Department, including, but not limited to, support of the Fusion Center Initiative and activities for cyber information sharing consistent with the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015;

(5) Homeland Security Enforcement Information means unclassified information of a sensitive nature lawfully created, possessed, or transmitted by the Department of Homeland Security in furtherance of its immigration, customs, and other civil and criminal enforcement missions, the unauthorized disclosure of which could adversely impact the mission of the Department;

(6) International Agreement Information means information the Department of Homeland Security receives that is required to be protected by an information sharing agreement or arrangement with a foreign government, an international organization of governments or any element thereof, an international or foreign public or judicial body, or an international or foreign private or non-governmental organization;

(7) Information Systems Vulnerability Information (ISVI) means: (i) Department of Homeland Security information technology (IT) systems data revealing infrastructure used for servers, desktops, and networks; applications name, version, and release; switching, router, and gateway information; interconnections and access methods;

and mission or business use/need. Examples of ISVI are systems inventories and enterprise architecture models.

Information pertaining to national security systems and eligible for classification under Executive Order 13526 will be classified as appropriate; and/or (ii) Information regarding developing or current technology, the release of which could hinder the objectives of the Department, compromise a technological advantage or countermeasure, cause a denial of service, or provide an adversary with sufficient information to clone, counterfeit, or circumvent a process or system;

(8) Operations Security Information means Department of Homeland Security information that could be collected, analyzed, and exploited by a foreign adversary to identify intentions, capabilities, operations, and vulnerabilities that threaten operational security for the missions of the Department;

(9) Personnel Security Information means information that could result in physical risk to Department of Homeland Security personnel or other individuals whom the Department is responsible for protecting;

(10) Physical Security Information means reviews or reports illustrating or disclosing facility infrastructure or security vulnerabilities related to the protection of Federal buildings, grounds, or property. For example, threat assessments, system security plans, contingency plans, risk management plans, business impact analysis studies, and certification and accreditation documentation;

(11) Privacy Information includes both Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (SPII). PII refers to information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either alone, or when combined with other information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual; and SPII is a subset of PII that if lost, compromised, or disclosed without authorization could result in substantial harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to an individual. To determine whether information is PII, DHS will perform an assessment of the specific risk that an individual can be identified using the information with other information that is linked or linkable to the individual. In performing this assessment, it is important to recognize that information that is not PII can become PII whenever additional information becomes available, in any medium or from any source, that would make it possible to identify an individual. Certain data elements are particularly sensitive and may alone present an increased risk of harm to the individual.

(i) Examples of stand-alone PII that are particularly sensitive include: Social Security numbers (SSNs), driver’s license or State identification numbers, Alien Registration Numbers (A-numbers), financial account numbers, and biometric identifiers.

(ii) Multiple pieces of information may present an increased risk of harm to the individual when combined, posing an increased risk of harm to the individual. SPII may also consist of any grouping of information that contains an individual’s name or other unique identifier plus one or more of the following elements:

(A) Truncated SSN (such as last 4 digits);

(B) Date of birth (month, day, and year);

(C) Citizenship or immigration status;

(D) Ethnic or religious affiliation;

(E) Sexual orientation; (F) Criminal history;

(G) Medical information; and

(H) System authentication information, such as mother’s birth name, account passwords, or personal identification numbers (PINs).

(iii) Other PII that may present an increased risk of harm to the individual depending on its context, such as a list of employees and their performance ratings or an unlisted home address or phone number.

The context includes the purpose for which the PII was collected, maintained, and used. This assessment is critical because the same information in different contexts can reveal additional information about the impacted individual.

(b) Information Resources means information and related resources, such as personnel, equipment, funds, and information technology.

(c) Contractor employees working on this contract must complete such forms as may be necessary for security or other reasons, including the conduct of background investigations to determine suitability. Completed forms shall be submitted as directed by the Contracting Officer. Upon the Contracting Officer’s request, the Contractor’s employees shall be fingerprinted or subject to other investigations as required. All Contractor employees requiring recurring access to government facilities or access to CUI or information resources are required to have a favorably adjudicated background investigation prior to commencing work on this contract unless this requirement is waived under Departmental procedures.

(d) The Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to prohibit individuals from working on the contract if the Government deems their initial or continued employment contrary to the public interest for any reason, including, but not limited to, carelessness, insubordination, incompetence, or security concerns.

(e) Work under this contract may involve access to CUI. The Contractor shall access and use CUI only for the purpose of furnishing advice or assistance directly to the Government in support of the Government’s activities, and shall not disclose, orally or in writing, CUI for any other purpose to any person unless authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer.
