About this opportunity
The Transportation Security Administration has awarded a sole-source contract to DetectaChem Inc. on July 6, 2026, for 14,700 TSA ECP colorimetric test kits, procured under Simplified Acquisition Procedures as a commercial item.
The justification rests on the unique and specialized nature of the work: TSA evaluated multiple state-of-the-art colorimetric test kits and determined that only DetectaChem is capable of providing kits meeting its operational requirements. TSA selected the DetectaChem ECP Test Kits based on four areas of improvement over competing products: increased detection rates, reduced false alarm rates, reduced processing time, and improved ease of use. The kits have been reviewed and approved by the Occupational Safety, Health, and Environment agency for compliance with environmental and health regulations. An Intent to Sole Source was posted on SAM.GOV on June 12, 2026, and closed on June 28, 2026, with no responses received. The Contracting Officer determined the order represents best value based on comparison with historical pricing and Independent Government Cost Estimates.
Delivery is to various airports during FY26. The procurement spans multiple procurement request numbers: PR265903A148, PR265903A138, PR265903A112, PR265903F004, PR265903A113, PR265903A032, and PR265903A125, with tracking number JA-2026-05-1371.
