PART C –STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

1 Background The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is charged with the mission of protecting the nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce. The mission of TSA’s Acquisition Program Management (APM) is to deliver innovative, mission-driven capabilities required by the frontline to safeguard America’s transportation system.

APM’s Checkpoint Technologies Division (CTD) ensures that the most technologically efficient and effective capabilities are available for screening passengers and carry-on baggage. To address this need, TSA requires a CAT2 system with the capability to: 1) authenticate a wide variety of identity documents (IDs); 2) validate a passenger’s identity; 3) confirm a passenger’s flight reservation and pre-screening status from Secure Flight (SF); and 4) display the authentication results to the Transportation Security Officer (TSO) or other qualified user. TSA envisions the CAT2 system as a flexible system that can be deployed in different configurations depending on the needs and constraints of each checkpoint environment.

2 Scope This SOW defines the requirements for the CAT2 system. The Contractor is required to integrate multiple interfaces and capabilities into a total CAT2 system solution that meets TSA requirements as described in this SOW. The CAT2 system includes integrated hardware and software which will provide the capability of validating passenger IDs and verifying passenger identity while allowing for network connectivity to the Security Technology Integrated Program (STIP) for confirming a passenger’s flight reservation and pre-screening status from SF. The Contractor is given the option to utilize the Department of Homeland Security Enterprise Facial Recognition Technology (DHS FRT) algorithm; this software will be provided as Government Furnished Software upon request. Contractors are not required to utilize this software and may develop or use their own solution.

The Contractor shall provide CAT2 systems in accordance with this SOW and the requirements specified in the CAT Functional Requirements Document (FRD) – Attachment 2 and STIP CAT Interface Requirements Document (IRD) – Attachment 1. The CAT2 systems shall include a Design Review (DR) phase, a Test Article Units phase, and Full Rate Production (FRP) phase.

Services performed by the Contractor shall include design, manufacture, test, test support, software development, program management, training, engineering support, delivery, and other various logistics support tasks necessary for development and continued operational readiness of the CAT2 system, such as installation and maintenance.

3 Applicable Documents and Standards The following specifications, handbooks, orders, and standards identified in Table 1 form a part of this SOW and are applicable to the extent specified herein. The latest version of these documents as of the contract date shall apply, unless a specific date for the document is specified below.

3.1 Order of Precedence

In the event of conflict between the text in this SOW and the references cited, the text of this SOW takes precedence. Nothing in this SOW, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations unless there is a specific written exemption.

4 Technical Requirements

4.1 Elements of the CAT solution

4.1.1 Credential Authentication Capability

In compliance with the CAT-2 FRD, CAT-2 ORD, and CAT IRD, and TSA Cybersecurity Requirements, the CAT system will:

a) Be used by a qualified operator, or other user, in accordance with human factors engineering best practices, to verify the authenticity of an ID and display the authentication results to the operator;

b) Obtain and display the passenger flight reservation and pre-screening status assigned by TSA’s SF Program to ensure that passengers are authorized to enter the sterile area of the passenger checkpoint;

c) Automate matching between the person and the ID photo using 1:1 facial biometrics;

d) Reduce physical contact between TSOs and passengers attempting to enter the checkpoint to prevent the spread of disease;

e) In cases where passengers are not immediately cleared for access by the CAT system, provide users with discrete and easy-to-see visual images https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso-iec:18013:-5:dis:ed-1:v1:en https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso-iec:18013:-5:dis:ed-1:v1:en https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso-iec:18013:-5:dis:ed-1:v1:en https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso-iec:18013:-5:dis:ed-1:v1:en demonstrating a scanned anomaly as compared to a genuine reference (alert descriptions, etc.) to enable effective resolution;

f) Include hardware that will integrate the ID scanner(s), the Contractor developed IT solution to authenticate ID, the graphical user interface (GUI), the STIP application programming interface (API), and Government Furnished Software (GFS) that supports cyber-security of the system; and

g) Meet cyber security requirements for machine and user authentication to TSA’s IT Enterprise.

4.1.2 Counterfeit Document Detection Capability

The Contractor shall provide a CAT2 system with the capability to detect counterfeit documents simulated by both traditional and digital print processes across the portfolio of ID types. This will include multiple simulated card substrates (e.g. PVC and/or Teslin, or adhered PVC and Teslin plastics). The Contractor shall provide a CAT2 system with the capability to identify printed anomalies from the genuine template without having to rely exclusively on data encoding errors or fraud mistakes in Machine Readable Zones (MRZ). See the Attachment 02 FRD for requirements.

4.1.3 Graphical User Interface (GUI)

The Contractor shall develop a GUI to display CAT screening results. The GUI shall be made of a primary screen showing high level results information including the passenger’s ID authentication results, SF pre-screening status, flight information, and other system status information listed in the CAT FRD. The GUI will also display any name mismatches with the most likely match at the top of the list so that the TSO can make the most informed decision. The secondary screen is intended to provide end users with an easy to see comparison of scanned anomalies against the genuine reference. The secondary screen will also provide sufficient text-based details of any alerts that are encountered during the primary screening process, for resolution purposes.

4.1.4 Fixed Location

The CAT system shall not be a handheld solution or an affixed immobilized solution. It must be a standalone system (such as a kiosk) that resides in a fixed location. “Fixed Location” does not mean that the system is bolted to the floor or wall. For instance, the system can be mounted on wheels but the general usage of the system should be that of a fixed location (i.e., at the end of the passenger queue operated by a TSO). Refer to the CAT FRD (Attachment 2) for additional details regarding fixed location.

4.1.5 STIP Interface

TSA has developed an Application Programming Interface (API) that enables TSA to provide an interface with Secure Flight via TSA’s STIP system. The API manages the data transfer of passenger information. STIP is an existing enterprise-wide system connecting Transportation Security Equipment (TSE) across the nation's airports to improve and enable information sharing. STIP allows the CAT system to receive passenger biographic, flight, and pre-screening status information in near real-time from the Secure Flight system. This biographic information is compared against the biographic information on the passenger’s ID to determine if there is a match and, if so, to provide the most up-to-date pre-screening status. The output of this pre-screening is displayed to the operator via the GUI. Refer to STIP CAT IRD (Attachment 1) for further information regarding interface requirements.

4.1.6 Shipping and Installation

The Contractor shall provide a Site Installation Task List to the Government in accordance with Deliverable D004. The Site Installation Task List describes each task (in a stepwise fashion) that is required to have a successful deployment and system connectivity to the STIP Platform and TSA Network.

The Contractor shall coordinate shipping and installation activities with an authorized Government representative. Specific airport requirements must be followed.

The Government may designate a site manager for each equipment installation.

The site manager, as the primary point of contact for each installation, will assist in the facilitation of installation. The site manager will be included in all communication and resolution of site installation issues. The site manager will mitigate site installation matters.

The Contractor shall coordinate with Government Site Manager or Representative, other Government contractors, airport and air carrier representatives, and stakeholders for specific CAT installation sites as specified in individual task orders.

The Contractor shall uncrate and install the TSE, and remove and dispose of all dunnage and packaging materials.

4.1.7 Operational Test Kit (OTK)

The Contractor shall provide an OTK with each CAT2 system that consists of four (4) sample documents specifically designed to verify proper operation of the two document scanners, proper authentication results (pass and fail), and proper display of both ID and Secure Flight information for flight itinerary and pre-screening.

• Passport Sample 1: E-Passport document that passes all authentication tests, including expiration, smart chip data crosscheck, B900 (IR) test, Visible and UV pattern tests, and ID / Secure Flight data match. For this operational test document, a non-valid country name and a non-actual traveler name are acceptable.

• Passport Sample 2: E-Passport that should generate multiple alert conditions, including expired, smart chip data crosscheck, and failed Visible and UV pattern tests.

• Driver License Sample 1: Document passes all authentication tests, including REAL ID compliance status, expiration, Visible, IR and UV pattern tests, and ID/Secure Flight data match. For this operational test document, a non-actual traveler name is acceptable.

• Driver License Sample 2: Document that should generate multiple alert conditions, including REAL ID compliance status and one or more of the additional test such as expired, and failed Visible, IR and UV pattern tests.

4.1.8 Supplemental System Requirements

• The system shall enforce the use of Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card credentials for authentication through the STIP client. If a “Z user” is authenticating to the machine, after the authentication has occurred via PIV there is no modification to the Z account configuration or ability to modify the CAT system to log in to the CAT system.

• The Contractor shall be required to make their TSE compatible with TSA-issued PIV cards. TSE shall use PIV authentication (NIST SP 800-63-2, Level 4 authentication) for STIP regular and privileged access into the TSE. The Contractor shall enable this through:

o The integration of the latest version of the STIP agent per the latest version of the STIP/CAT Interface Requirements Document (IRD).

This will be provided as GFS.

o The STIP Agent contains two parts: the STIP Client Core and the STIP Client Library.

The STIP Client Core is a standard C++ application (.exe or .so) that can be run on any system (Windows or Linux), as long as the standard C++ libraries are included on the system.

The STIP Client Library has been developed in .NET, Java, and C++. The Contractor may choose which STIP client library to install based on their system environment and their software programming language. The Contractor’s choice will dictate what needs installed on their system (the .NET Framework, Java, or C++ system libraries).

• The Contractor shall attach a TSA-specified PIV card reader to a USB port;

the PIV card reader drivers will be integrated into the STIP agent that will be provided as GFS.

4.2 Elements of System Enhancements

The Contractor shall support multiple software development cycles involving Contractor software, firmware, GFS, GUI updates, hardware, and Government Furnished Information (GFI).

TSA anticipates system enhancements to include a digital ID authentication capability (such as mobile driver’s license), the ability to biometrically authenticate passenger’s identity against a database, the ability to allow the passenger to insert their own ID into the readers, and the ability to read boarding passes.

The Contractor shall support periodic system enhancements, and, maintenance on the detection algorithm(s)/capability; the schedule will be determined by the Government. TSA will furnish the Contractor with counterfeit document samples to enable the Contractor to evaluate their counterfeit document detection capability and identify detection deficiencies in their algorithm(s). The Contractor will furnish test environment hardware/software to perform the maintenance. TSA will store the scanned data on an encrypted hard drive and the Contractor will ensure that any scanned biographic data are not stored on their test environment equipment at the end of the maintenance event.

The Contractor should support multiple demonstrations of system enhancements to TSA and incorporate the Government’s feedback into the final design.

The Contractor should develop documentation for Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and Critical Design Review (CDR) packages and reports.

The Contractor shall manufacture, deliver, and install the hardware and software necessary to upgrade CAT2 units as identified by the Government.
