BPS-1603: X-ray Inspection Systems

Pursuant to Section 3-05 of the New York City Procurement Policy Board Rules, Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to enter into a Sole Source Agreement with Rapiscan Systems Inc. (" Rapiscan") to purchase services of preventative maintenance and repair of the Z-Portal X-ray Inspection Systems for vehicle and trucks.

The Bureau of Police and Security (BPS) Police Division utilizes the X-ray system to conduct vehicle and truck search and inspection. Rapiscan  is the original equipment manufacturer. Rapiscan is a highly complex electro-mechanical system, which is proprietary due to its patented technology and should be serviced by trained and authorized service personnel. Failure to maintain and provide preventative maintenance of the existing systems will adversely affect DEP’s ability to adequately ensure the safety and security of the water supply, infrastructure, employees, and public.

Any firm which believes it can also provide the required service IN THE FUTURE is invited to so, indicated by letter which must be received no later than  4:00 PM on  July 17, 2026  at: Department of Environmental Protection, Agency Chief Contracting Office, 59-17 Junction Blvd., 17 th Floor, Flushing, New York 11373, ATTN: Fiorella E. Leal, FLEAL@dep.nyc.gov.
