About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Collins Aerospace for API/PNR Services in Praia, Cabo Verde. The contract, associated with the U.S. Embassy in Praia, will be executed under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 for a specific technical requirement. The opportunity is specifically related to Advanced Passenger Information Systems (APIS) services at Nelson Mandela Praia International Airport. The contract is valued at $184,000 and involves supporting the Cabo Verde National Police IT Team with specific technical configurations. The Special Notice was posted on March 13, 2025, with a response deadline of March 27, 2025.
The primary objective of this contract is to support U.S. Customs and Border Protection's mission of detecting and preventing high-risk travelers from entering the United States by providing advanced traveler information screening capabilities. Collins Aerospace will be responsible for configuring and testing VPN tunnels, network access, MQ Channels, and delivering messages in JSON format to enable automatic traveler screening.
