About this opportunity
The Drug Enforcement Administration issued a Notice of Intent to sole-source the acquisition of X-ray equipment from Viken Detection (Burlington, MA) by August 16, 2026. This procurement is restricted to Viken Detection under FAR 12.102 for a single-source purchase not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The DEA requires the Viken Detection Xray Backscatter Imager specifically because it is the only handheld X-ray backscatter imaging system on the market capable of detecting lead concealment; without lead detection capability, field agents cannot identify lead-lined concealments using backscatter imaging technology. This is not a competitive solicitation; the DEA will not issue an RFQ. Interested parties may submit a capability statement for consideration. Robert Radke (robert.j.radke@dea.gov) is the Contracting Officer.
Notice text
Notice of Intent to Sole Source
Purchase Xray Equipment
1. Introduction
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Viken Detection located at 21 North Avenue, Burlington, MA 01803 for the acquisition of X-ray equipment.
2. Authority
This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of FAR 12.102 soliciting from a single source for purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).
3. Description of Requirement
Item/Service: Viken Detection Xray Backscatter Imager
4. Justification for Single Source
The required X-ray Imager by Viken Detection is only vendor that has a handheld x-ray backscatter imaging system that can detect for lead. If a backscatter Image system is used without the lead detection, a lead concealment will be missed by agents in the field causing agents not to be able to see the concealment they are trying to detect with this device. There is no other X-Ray Backscatter system vendor product that will detect lead on the market.
5. Response Instructions
This is not a request for quotes, and a solicitation will not be issued. Interested parties may submit a capability statement for consideration by the agency.
