Attachment 2 - Solicitation 70T04024CSOP7573N001 Questions.xlsx

This document is a set of Questions and Answers related to Solicitation 70T04024CSOP7573N001 issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for the Commercial Solutions Opening Pilot (CSOP) program. The solicitation is seeking innovative commercial solutions for Automated Field Data Collection capabilities to collect data that cannot be retrieved from existing security equipment, such as passenger time at the Travel Document Checker, passenger divest time, secondary screening time, and causes for alarms.

The solicitation will follow a multi-phased approach, with Phase 1 requiring submission of a written Solution Brief and potential Technical Demonstration, followed by Phase 2 requesting a Full Proposal. The government will evaluate proposals on individual merit rather than a comparative basis, and awards are intended to be made throughout Fiscal Year 2024 subject to availability of funding. Potential vendors are advised that costs incurred in preparing and submitting solution briefs, demonstrations, and proposals will not be paid by the government, and all recipients must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) before award.
