Background
The Airports Authority utilizes a Radio Frequency ID (RFID) system to support the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) modified egress program at Dulles International Airport. RFID technology is leveraged for the tracking of secure document containers during the inspection process. These systems are installed within the main International Arrivals Building (IAB) Federal Inspection Service (FIS) area and within the FIS located at the Midfield (MID) Terminal. The tracking of document containers is supported by a visual/audible alarm system and is centrally managed in the command center for each FIS.
The current systems are reaching their end of serviceable life and are being considered for replacement.
Request for Information
The Airports Authority hereby invites interested parties to respond to this RFI regarding RFID Solutions for Modified Egress that will replace/upgrade the current systems. The intention of this RFI is to better understand the current market for RFID tracking solutions within the required workspace.
The Airports Authority is seeking an RFID solution that will satisfy the CBP Modified Egress program requirements for the tracking of secured document containers during their inspection process. This includes antenna systems to triangulate the location of secure containers, visual/audible alarms should the containers enter a prohibited area, mapping software to identify real-time locations of containers, and reporting capability to show historical location data.
The Airports Authority desires to utilize to the maximum extent possible the current tags, containers, and antenna system.
