Transportation Security Equipment Deployment Services

The Transportation Security Equipment Deployment Services (TEDS) is a master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract issued by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to support the deployment, integration, and maintenance of aviation security technologies. The primary focus of this contract vehicle is to enable the TSA to procure system integration, site validation, installation, and logistical support services for checkpoint and checked baggage screening equipment across the United States. The contract supports the TSA's mission of securing transportation systems by facilitating the deployment of advanced screening technologies such as Computed Tomography (CT) systems, Credential Authentication Technology (CAT), Automated Screening Lanes (ASL), and Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) equipment.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a pattern of firm fixed-price delivery orders with values ranging from approximately $100,000 to over $36 million, typically with performance periods between six months and three years. Two primary contractors, Leidos, Inc. and Raytheon Company, have been the most frequent awardees, executing task orders across three regional contract vehicles (West, Central, and East). The task orders commonly involve site surveys, equipment installation, system integration, infrastructure validation, and logistical support at airports and federal facilities nationwide. No task orders utilized small business set-aside provisions, indicating full and open competition. The primary place of performance has been at various airports and TSA facilities across the United States, with contractor home offices often serving as administrative bases, such as Gaithersburg, Maryland for Leidos and Sterling, Virginia for Raytheon.
