The Louisiana Department of Corrections (DOC) is seeking to procure four specialized scanning systems through Bid Number 3000024594, specifically for the Louisiana Correctional Institution for Women and Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. The procurement includes two X-ray inspection systems, one full body scanner, and one digital body scanning system, all manufactured by LineV Systems with specific model requirements. Each scanning system must demonstrate advanced detection capabilities for metal, organic objects, weapons, explosives, and contraband, with precise technical specifications for tunnel sizes, conveyor belt configurations, and comprehensive monitoring features. Vendors must provide a holistic solution including hardware, software, installation, training, and warranty services, with a mandatory minimum of four hours of on-site training covering radiation protection, safety, and operational procedures. The bid requires vendors to include ancillary equipment such as AI-driven threat detection software and roller tables, and all potential bidders must be registered in the LaGov system. The bid is scheduled to be opened on April 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with non-mandatory jobsite visits available for potential vendors to schedule prior to submission.

While the solicitation documents do not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, vendors must be registered in the LaPac online procurement system to participate. The bid appears to be proprietary, with only specified brands and models from LineV Systems being considered, which may limit competitive bidding. No specific budget range or potential award value is disclosed in the available documentation. The procurement is structured to award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting the comprehensive technical specifications. Integration requirements suggest vendors must provide seamless technological compatibility with existing correctional facility infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on security and advanced scanning capabilities. Electronic bid submission through the Louisiana Procurement and Contract Network will be the only acceptable method for responding to this solicitation, requiring vendors to carefully follow the detailed online bidding instructions provided in the attachments.
