Summary
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has issued sole-source procurement BPS-1603 seeking preventative maintenance and repair services for its Z-Portal X-ray Inspection Systems, currently manufactured and serviced solely by Rapiscan Systems Inc. The Bureau of Police and Security at DEP uses the proprietary X-ray systems to screen vehicles and trucks at water-supply facilities, and failure to maintain the equipment would jeopardize water-supply security. Any firm that believes it could provide the same services in the future may submit a written capability notice to DEP's Agency Chief Contracting Office by 4:00 PM on July 17, 2026.
