About this opportunity
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has awarded a sole-source task order to Leidos Holdings, Inc. for five Multi-Energy Portal (MEP) Systems under the existing MEP IDIQ contract 70B03C21D00000004, with the task order issued on April 30, 2026.
The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Leidos is the sole source because it originally installed the existing MEP systems, possesses proprietary knowledge of their design and functionality, has established relationships with port personnel, and is currently mobilized at the affected locations. Awarding to another contractor would result in duplicative engineering costs, integration challenges, schedule delays, and operational disruption. No portion of the work can be reasonably segregated for competition due to the integrated nature of the requirement and proprietary constraints.
The task order operates on a Firm Fixed Price contract type with a base year performance period of April 30, 2026 to April 29, 2027. Fiscal Year 2025 funding extends through Fiscal Year 2028. The systems enable CBP to conduct non-intrusive inspections of conveyances at ports of entry to detect contraband including illicit drugs, terrorist weapons, and currency. The underlying MEP IDIQ was competitively awarded on March 1, 2021 to three vendors: Leidos, Rapiscan, and Smiths Detection. Pricing aligns with rates established under the competitively awarded IDIQ contract and will be evaluated for reasonableness by the Contracting Officer.
