JA-2026-05-1278 SPP SFO_Redacted.pdf

This Justification and Approval (J&A) document details a six-month extension for a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) task order for airport security screening services at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The current contract with Covenant Aviation Security, LLC (task order 70T05021F5900N002) is set to expire on December 31, 2025, and requires an extension due to an ongoing post-award protest involving another contractor, VMD Systems Integrators, LLC.

The extension, valued at $82,416,320.10, will provide comprehensive passenger and baggage security screening services at SFO within the TSA framework. The extension is necessary to ensure continuity of security operations during a complex contractor transition period, prevent disruption to airport security, and allow time for resolving the current protest. The contract is a firm-fixed-price with award-fee type, funded through Fiscal Year 2026 for screening and operations, and will maintain the existing security services until a new procurement can be completed.
