TSA Explosive Detection Systems 2012-2018

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Explosive Detection Systems 2012-2018 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle was established to support the agency's Electronic Baggage Screening Program (EBSP), focusing on next-generation checked baggage explosive detection systems (EDS). The contract enables the procurement, integration, and maintenance of reduced-size explosive detection systems and associated ancillary equipment for airport security screening. Specifically, the vehicle supports the acquisition of CT80DR and CT80DR+ EDS units, including hardware, software upgrades, technical data packages, and related engineering services to enhance threat detection capabilities.

The majority of task orders under this vehicle were awarded to Reveal Imaging Technologies, Inc. (a subsidiary of Leidos Holdings, Inc.), with delivery order values ranging from approximately $10,000 to nearly $29 million. Typical task orders included system integration and networking at multiple airports, software upgrades, performance simulation, technical refresh of EDS units, and procurement of ancillary equipment like conveyors, printers, and viewing stations. The contract was not set aside for any specific business category, and most work was performed in locations such as San Diego, California, and various airport sites across the United States. Task orders consistently used firm fixed-price pricing and supported the TSA's ongoing efforts to modernize and optimize explosive detection screening technology for checked baggage.
