CBP Issues RFI for Passive Body Scanner
Customs and Border Protection has issued a Request for Information as part of a requirement for up to 500 passive body scanners to detect weapons, dangerous objects and contraband items concealed under clothing of people while entering or leaving the U.S. A statement of work accompanying the RFI says that the PBS will be compact, versatile by its mobility, and capable of providing an image to aid CBP personnel in identifying anomalies. The agency is seeking commercially available off-the-shelf PBS. CBP says the PBS can’t emit energy to produce a thermal image of a person and that the thermal image must provide a trained operator with the ability to identify solid or liquid objects concealed under clothes.
