PR24714 47064-276088 RFI Automatic Contraband Detection X-Ray Images

This open Request for Information (RFI) from Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), on behalf of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), seeks industry input on software that can automatically detect contraband in images produced by conventional X-ray or computed tomography (CT) systems. The government appears to be gathering technical information and specifications rather than requesting firm-priced bids at this stage. The intended solution may involve image-analysis or automated detection capabilities compatible with existing screening equipment. The opportunity is associated with Ottawa and Gatineau, Quebec, and is scheduled to close on September 15, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The notice does not provide enough information here to assess supplier eligibility, mandatory requirements, submission instructions, security obligations, integration requirements, or whether demonstrations and testing will be required. Businesses with relevant imaging software, artificial intelligence, machine learning, security-screening, X-ray, or CT technology experience may find this potentially relevant. Before responding, review the complete official notice and all attachments in the procurement portal, confirm the RFI response process and deadlines, and verify the government’s stated technical and administrative requirements. Bid Maple is not affiliated with the Government of Canada.
