About this opportunity

This solicitation seeks proposals for the development of advanced checked baggage screening systems to enhance aviation security. The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate is procuring these services to advance detection capabilities and increase screening throughput. Offerors must submit white papers by July 20, 2020 that address one of five technical topic areas: advanced X-ray systems, algorithms and integration, supporting components, baggage movement technologies, or training applications. Proposals will be evaluated based on their ability to significantly improve detection performance, reduce false alarm rates, and enhance throughput.

There is no set-aside designation for this opportunity. Awards are anticipated as cost reimbursement contracts valued between $2-4.5 million for periods of up to three years. Prototyping and testing may occur at government facilities, with transition of successful technologies to the Transportation Security Administration anticipated within two to three years. Place of performance is Washington, D.C. and work is expected to advance technologies to readiness levels three through five for screening approximately 300 bags per hour.
