Description

This is NOT a Solicitation. This is instead a SOLE-SOURCE Special Notice. The Office of Security (M-40), in the Office of the Secretary in the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT), needs a reliable contractor-company to provide maintenance and service, including all parts and labor, for one Rapiscan Systems Gemini x-ray system, which is used by DOT in the Department-s security-screening process applied to packages being delivered to the DOT Headquarters Building in Washington, D. C. For that purpose, DOT intends to award a contract, on a SOLE-SOURCE basis, to Rapiscan Systems, Inc., of Torrance, California. It is estimated that the Period of Performance for that contemplated contract would run from approximately April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2030. It is estimated that the sole-source contract would have a value of about $10, 600 per year.

The contractor chosen by DOT will need to be certified by Rapiscan Systems to work on the Gemini x-ray Inspection systems and have access to their proprietary system information and components in order to properly maintain and service the equipment without damaging or voiding any system or component warranties.

Rapiscan Systems is the manufacturer of GEMINI x-ray Inspection Systems, which are proprietary to Rapiscan Systems because of that company-s patented Rapiscan Systems technologies (Z-backscatter). And because of the existence of the patent, relevant detailed schematics and proprietary system information is provided only to Rapiscan Systems service personnel. And because Rapiscan Systems Gemini x-Ray contain high voltage, personnel who are not properly trained in servicing Rapiscan systems may cause damage to the systems, and may cause personal injury and even death. Furthermore, individuals working on Rapiscan systems who are not properly trained and certified by Rapiscan may void system or component warranties.

Rapiscan is the only company that is able to provide an x-ray inspection system ...
