About this opportunity
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for Explosive Detection Systems (EDS) to support the Electronic Baggage Screening Program at federalized airports. The justification covers two single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracts awarded to Leidos and Smiths Detection for EDS production, installation, and maintenance services over a seven-year ordering period with an initial two years of maintenance. The sole-source procurement is justified because only these two vendors have qualified EDS products on TSA's Qualified Products List that meet stringent certification requirements and possess proprietary technologies uniquely integrated into airport baggage handling systems. Contract 70T04025D7672N001 was awarded to an unknown vendor on September 12, 2025, and contract 70T04025D7672N004 was awarded on September 22, 2025, though specific award values were not disclosed in the redacted documentation. This procurement directly supports the mandate under Public Law 107-71 requiring 100% checked baggage screening at federalized airports and will enable airport development, infrastructure enhancement, and recapitalization of aging EDS equipment that has reached the end of its useful life cycle.
