Decommission and Remove Non-Intrusive Inspection Systems

The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection is conducting an information-gathering exercise on the feasibility and methodology for decommissioning and removing Non-Intrusive Inspection systems across multiple ports of entry, with responses due October 8, 2026 by 5 PM ET; no procurement commitment is made, cost reimbursement for response preparation will not be provided, and not responding does not preclude participation in any future solicitation.

CBP seeks vendor feedback on decommissioning, disassembling, recycling, and disposing of approximately 415 pieces of equipment, including 14 Gamma Rail Systems, 23 Low-Energy Portals, 6 High-Energy Mobile Systems, 14 Medium-Energy Mobile Systems, 4 Gamma Fixed Portal Systems, 13 High-Energy Gantry Systems, 61 X-Ray Vans, 61 Low-Energy Mobile Systems, 202 Flir R-300 radiation detectors, 1,316 SPRD RadEye units, 2 Passive Body Scanners, 55 HBI 120 Handheld X-ray Imagers, and various handheld radiation detection devices, density meters, fiberscopes, and chemical identification equipment located across multiple CBP field offices. CBP is exploring no-cost arrangements or cost-offset structures based on recovered materials value. All work must comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, licensing requirements, environmental standards, and safety protocols. CBP requests responses addressing vendor interest and capability, experience with radioactive sources and x-ray equipment, prior federal equipment decommissioning history, willingness to perform work at no cost or through cost-offset arrangements, and industry recommendations for optimal disposition approaches. Responses must not exceed five pages and should be submitted via email to contracting officers Aga Frys and Kaitlin Merli.
