About this opportunity
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on April 9, 2026, to award Task Order 70B04C26F00000265 under contract GS-07F-0182T to Astrophysics, Inc. for corrective and preventative maintenance services supporting Radiation Detection Equipment and Non-Intrusive Inspection systems at CBP ports of entry throughout the Continental United States and overseas locations. The justification for limiting sources to a single vendor is based on FAR Class Deviation 16.507-6(b)(2), which permits sole-source awards when only one source can provide supplies or services at the required quality level due to unique or highly specialized requirements. Astrophysics, Inc., located in City of Industry, California, is the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive access to proprietary source code, programming information, technical manuals, spare parts, and specialized tools necessary for maintaining ZBV/ZBF model x-ray systems and newly installed medium and low energy portal systems; alternative vendors would void warranties and create cybersecurity vulnerabilities. CBP conducted extensive market research spanning from November 2020 through October 2025, including a Request for Information that generated six industry responses and a competitive solicitation that was canceled due to lack of viable alternatives. The award will utilize GSA's pre-negotiated fair and reasonable pricing rates with additional discounts to be negotiated, and CBP committed to posting the requirement on SAM.Gov for a minimum of thirty days while continuing to assess the marketplace for alternative solutions that could reduce future reliance on proprietary systems.
