OSI Systems Lands Turnkey Security Services Agreement with Guatemala
OSI Systems [OSIS] says its S2 Global business received a 10-year contract to provide complete turnkey cargo screening services for the Port of Santo Tomas de Castilla. The value of the award wasn’t disclosed but officials said on the company’s second quarter earnings call in late January that it would be worth less than a similar turnkey services contract with Puerto Rico. OSI will collect revenue under the contract on a fee-per scan basis. S2 also provides turnkey screening services for ports in Mexico and Albania. Under the contract with Guatemala, the company will construct civil works, deliver and integrate Rapiscan Eagle P60 high-energy X-Ray inspection systems, perform security screening and remote image analysis using the CertScan integration platform for all inbound, outbound and transshipped cargo, and provide life-cycle support. The port is the largest in Guatemala in terms of container traffic.

Northrop Grumman will provide the integrated bridge, navigation, command, control and computing network, data distribution, machinery control and propulsion control systems. The work will be performed in Charlottesville, Va. The first two OPCs are the U.S. Coast Guard Cutters Argus (WMSM-915) and Chase (WMSM-916).
