About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of twelve (12) Medium Energy Mobile (MEM) X-ray scanning systems, specifically the VACIS M6500 Medium-Energy Mobile X-Ray Scanning System manufactured by Leidos Security Enterprise Solutions. These systems will be deployed at ports of entry and Border Patrol checkpoints as part of CBP's Large Scale Non-Intrusive Inspection program to scan cargo conveyances, trucks, containers, and vehicles for contraband, weapons, and illegal drugs. The sole-source justification is based on market research conducted through a Request for Information in January 2025, which determined that only Leidos could meet CBP's specific requirements including system delivery timeframes, performance specifications, and operational needs. The contract (70B03C25C00000153) was awarded to Leidos on September 26, 2025, as a firm fixed price agreement funded through Fiscal Year 2025 Procurement, Construction, and Improvements five-year funds, though the specific contract value was not disclosed. Leidos has been CBP's historical provider for these systems, having delivered over 200 similar units since 2000, and each MEM system is capable of scanning vehicles in both stationary and drive-through modes without requiring operators to hold a Commercial Driver's License.
