TSA Systems Integration Services 2009-2015

The Transportation Security Administration awarded this Master IDIQ on August 20, 2009, with a shared ceiling of $500 million and a final ordering date of September 20, 2015—now closed for more than ten years. The vehicle is fully unrestricted; all 38 task orders carry no set-aside designation.

Ordering momentum peaked early: the IDIQ issued 10 orders in 2011, then declined to 4 per year in 2012 and 2014, with only 2 orders placed in 2015 before the vehicle closed. The portfolio is nearly exhausted: $518.9 million of the $524.4 million combined potential value is obligated (99%), leaving minimal capacity for new work. All task orders fund TSA programs exclusively; no other federal agencies use this vehicle.

Raytheon Technical Services Company dominates the vehicle with 16 orders totaling $252.5 million combined potential value—nearly half the portfolio. Leidos ranks second with 13 total orders split across two entities ($40 million and $97.6 million), The Boeing Company holds 5 orders worth $76.4 million, and Lockheed Martin Services holds 3 orders for $54 million. These four firms account for 97% of all awards. The remaining two primes receive negligible volume.

Task orders reflect systems integration work across TSA's aviation security infrastructure: electronic baggage screening program (EBSP) support, explosive detection system (EDS) installation and integration, passenger screening equipment deployment by region, airport infrastructure surveys, duress alarm systems, advanced imaging technology deployment, and air cargo security technology program support. Individual task-order values range widely, from roughly $220,000 to $98.3 million, with pricing split between firm fixed price and cost-plus-fixed-fee structures. Performance of performance spans multiple TSA facilities and airport locations nationwide, with some orders supporting OCONUS projects.

This vehicle is closed to new pursuit. Ordering expired ten years ago with 99% of value already obligated. Any remaining capacity would be negligible and unavailable to new entrants competing against an entrenched group of four large defense and systems integration firms.
