About this opportunity
U.S. Customs and Border Protection awarded a firm fixed price purchase order to Lafayette Instrument Company, LLC for 140 Lafayette LX7 Computerized Polygraph systems and associated accessories on September 30, 2026, under a total small business set-aside and sole-source authority.
Contract 70B06C26P00000491 carries a value of $1,148,070. The award covers a 6-month base period under Solicitation 70B06C26R00000142, with funding from Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Operations and Support appropriations. The Office of Professional Responsibility, Credibility Assessment Division justifies the sole-source award on the grounds that Lafayette is the only manufacturer and service provider of the LX7 system and its proprietary software, accessories, and maintenance components. CBP has standardized on Lafayette equipment since 2008 across its national polygraph program for law enforcement officer applicant vetting and investigative missions. Continued standardization is necessary to maintain compatibility with 54 existing Lafayette Data Acquisition System boxes currently operated by contractor examiners, ensure consistency in examination procedures, and preserve quality control processes. Market research conducted January through July 2026 confirmed no other vendors offer comparable or compatible equipment. A Notice of Intent to Sole Source posted on SAM.gov on August 5, 2026 generated no capability statements. Lafayette will provide each system with a five-year warranty including Tier 1 support and maintenance services.
