About this opportunity

The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of twelve Relocatable Passenger Vehicle Scanning Systems (RPVSS) to support their Non-Intrusive Inspection Program at border crossings. The contract was awarded to Leidos Security Enterprise Solutions on September 26, 2025, though the specific contract value was not disclosed in the public documentation. CBP justified the sole-source award based on market research conducted through a Request for Information in February 2025, which revealed that only Leidos could meet the required delivery timeframe and technical specifications for the VACIS XPL Mobile systems. These scanning systems are designed to efficiently inspect passenger cars and light vehicles for contraband such as explosives, drugs, and currency, with the capability to scan up to 150 vehicles per hour while maintaining low X-ray exposure levels. The justification emphasized that Leidos has an established track record with CBP, having provided over 200 VACIS NII systems since 2000, including 14 currently operational VACIS MXPL systems at ports of entry. Without these systems, CBP indicated they would be forced to rely on slower manual inspections that could impede commerce and potentially allow contraband to go undetected.
