Respondents are encouraged to provide detailed assessments based on their experience and expertise. Additionally, the Government seeks to determine whether contractors COTS solutions can accommodate 120 lanes within the existing footprint of the current 60-lane facility. Respondents are encouraged to provide detailed information on the scalability and space efficiency of their solutions, including any potential constraints or modifications required to achieve this goal. To assist respondents in evaluating the feasibility of accommodating 120 lanes within the existing footprint of the current 60-lane facility, a drawing of the building footprint (provided in PDF format) is included as an attachment to this RFI.
