TSA Screening Partnership Program (SPP)

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), under the Department of Homeland Security, established this Master IDIQ for airport security screening services effective May 27, 2016, with a shared ceiling of $3.3 billion. Ordering closed on May 31, 2026. The vehicle is no longer open for new task order awards.

Sixty-two task orders have been awarded under the IDIQ, generating $3.13 billion in combined potential value, of which $2.08 billion (66 percent) has been obligated. Task-order activity has slowed materially: the vehicle averaged 2.6 orders per year over the last five years, with only two orders awarded in 2025 and one order placed in the final month before the ordering deadline. The most recent task order, awarded June 1, 2026, covers comprehensive security screening services at Portsmouth International Airport with a ceiling value of $11.3 million.

Work centers on airport passenger and baggage screening at participating Screening Partnership Program locations across the United States. Recent awards span a broad geographic footprint: San Francisco International Airport (ceiling $723 million), Kansas City International Airport (ceiling $127.3 million), a multi-airport Montana consolidation (ceiling $66.6 million), and single-airport contracts at smaller facilities. Task orders are firm-fixed-price or fixed-price-with-award-fee arrangements with performance periods typically extending through 2029 or 2031.

Competition is moderately concentrated. Covenant Aviation Security, LLC and VMD Systems Integrators, LLC dominate by value, holding combined potential value of $2.43 billion (78 percent of total). Aviation Security Management LLC, Trinity Technology Group, Inc., and Johnson Security Bureau, Inc. form a secondary tier. Twenty-two additional primes share the remaining orders and value. By order count, Aviation Security Management LLC leads with nine awards, VMD Systems Integrators with eight, and Trinity Technology Group with six.

Seventy-three percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; 26 percent are designated Total Small Business; one order is Competitive 8(a). The TSA is the sole customer across all task orders. Task-order ceilings range from $5,000 (vendor-forum administrative orders placed at IDIQ inception) to $787.9 million (SFO multi-year screening operations), with typical operational airport contracts falling between $20 million and $70 million.

The Department of Homeland Security, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has awarded a Master IDIQ for airport Security Screening Services. Services include comprehensive screening of passengers and personal property at airports participating in the Screening Partnership Program.
