    Brief

    The Irish Revenue Customs Service is seeking to procure four ion mobility spectroscopy (IMS) trace detection systems for real-time detection and identification of trace chemical substances. These systems will enable customs officers to identify benign, hazardous, and illegal chemicals that are not visible to the naked eye in legitimate cargo, postal parcels, and personal effects. One system will be installed at each of the following locations: Knock Airport, Kerry Airport, Dublin Port, and the primary mail and parcel processing hub in Athlone. The systems must operate reliably across diverse customs environments and support border security and compliance operations.
