OSI Systems Inc., the Hawthorne-based maker of airport security scanners, said Thursday that it was awarded a contract worth about $27 million.

The contract, from an undisclosed international government agency, is for multiple Rapiscan Eagle Mobile Cargo and Vehicle Inspection systems. The contract includes installation, warranty service and other charges provided by the company's local distributor.

The South Bay firm expects the systems to be installed by local customs officials at land border crossings for the inspection of inbound and outbound cargo for duty evasion and contraband.
