Description

Introduction

Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Non-Intrusive Inspection Program Management Office (NII PMO) has a requirement to procure chemical and explosives detection devices with integrated Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy capability. The purpose of this draft requirement is to provide CBP ports of entry (POE) and land border crossings with the capability to scan objects believed to be narcotics. It has been determined that these devices possess the capability to identify a broad range of unknown chemicals and explosives in bulk amounts with higher purity levels quickly and safely. The detection equipment will be used by CBP Officers in non-intrusive testing to detect a wide range of narcotics, controlled substances, unknown substances, and general organic materials. The objective of this program is to rapidly and accurately identify and interdict contraband illegally arriving in the United States. CBP continues to seize an increasing number of opioids at the nation-s borders. Of significant concern is the spike in fentanyl seizures. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is fifty times more powerful than heroin and poses a significant risk to CBP field personnel and the public. To combat this threat and many others, CBP implements a layered enforcement strategy that incorporates a broad range of tools and capabilities essential to the detection and interdiction of illicit materials smuggled into the United States.
