    The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) Office of Security and Integrity (OSI) seeks to procure new x-ray machines to enhance security at various facilities. The current machines are outdated, and continual repairs are costly, prompting the need for upgrades. This procurement will include a total of 27 NII X-Ray machines, roller tables, and optional warranty services, with installation and removal of old devices to comply with OSHA standards. Machines are to be delivered within 12 months of award and will be coordinated by USCIS Security Maintenance and Repair Program Managers. The focus is on ensuring a secure work environment while preventing the entry of weapons and contraband into federal spaces. The initiative leverages previously established Blanket Purchase Agreements to streamline the acquisition of these essential security systems and services. This reflects USCIS's commitment to providing a safe operational environment for its employees and visitors.
    The Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) outlines projected expenses for acquiring X-ray machines and ancillary equipment for the period from September 23, 2024, to September 22, 2025. The key components include various models of X-ray units specified as NII X-Ray for both small and large baggage, along with associated roller tables and optional five-year warranty services. The cost structure indicates quantities but lacks specified rates or total costs. The document serves as a foundational financial analysis to guide procurement decisions related to enhancing security and inspection capabilities. In the context of federal RFPs and grants, this IGCE is pivotal for budgetary planning and transparency, ensuring that future investments align with operational needs within regulatory frameworks.
