The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Boarding Pass Scanners (BPS) Master IDIQ contract, established on August 13, 2013, supports the procurement and maintenance of boarding pass scanning equipment for airport security operations. The contract vehicle enables the TSA to acquire specialized scanning technology and associated support services from multiple prime contractors. Task orders under this IDIQ primarily focus on the acquisition of boarding pass scanners from manufacturers like Desko and NCR, along with related maintenance, engineering support, and shipping services essential to airport security infrastructure.
The task orders demonstrate a range of procurement activities, with values spanning from $1,781 to $1,797,495, typically structured as firm fixed-price delivery orders. Key contractors include Desko and NCR, who have been awarded significant task orders for boarding pass scanner purchases and support services. All documented task orders were awarded without specific small business set-aside designations, indicating full and open competition. The performance period for these task orders generally ranges from several months to approximately one year, with completion dates between August 2013 and September 2016. The shared contract ceiling of $5,500,000 suggests a strategic approach to managing multiple vendor relationships and maintaining flexibility in equipment and service acquisition for TSA's boarding pass scanning needs.
