About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations has awarded a sole-source contract to Cignal LLC for maturation of synthetic image generation software for checkpoint security screening systems, pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR Class Deviation 25-11.
The justification rests on Cignal's unique proprietary and patented architecture for generating synthetic screening images, retention of all intellectual property rights under previous Silicon Valley Innovation Program Other Transaction Authority agreements, and demonstrated capability that no other vendor has achieved. This is a follow-on to four prior development phases: Phase 1 ($142,465.20), Phase 2 ($199,840.00), Phase 3 ($499,959.72), and Phase 4 ($499,965.60). The contractor will develop and demonstrate software tools that produce synthetic X-ray, computed tomography, and millimeter wave image data suitable for public algorithm development and government development, testing, and evaluation. Cignal will collaborate with end users at DHS Science & Technology Directorate, Transportation Security Administration, and other agencies to validate tools and generated images for machine learning algorithm development, training, testing, and evaluation. Research & Development funding from FY26 supports this effort. The contractor is located in Reedsville, Pennsylvania. The contracting officer certifies anticipated pricing as fair and reasonable based on prior acquisition history.
