About this opportunity
The Transportation Security Administration intends to award a sole-source bridge contract to Identification Technology Partners, Inc. (IDTP) for continued credentialing management support to the Office of Trusted Traveler & Credentialing, under contract 70T04026C7500N001 awarded on August 18, 2026, on a Firm Fixed Price basis.
The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source). TSA determines that replacing IDTP's incumbent support, even temporarily, would require new contractor recruitment, security clearance processing, and extensive onboarding, rendering transition impracticable for the brief interim period. IDTP staff are already cleared, onboarded, and embedded within TTC operations with detailed working knowledge of TSA's vetting and credentialing systems, workflows, and stakeholder environment. IDTP provides the full spectrum of credential production, issuance, and reliability testing for TWIC biometric smart cards, including specifications development, authentication publication, post-production support, reliability evaluation and testing, and derived credential assessment.
The bridge consists of a three-month base period with three one-month options, limited to the minimum duration necessary to ensure uninterrupted support while TSA completes and awards a competitive follow-on task order. Funding is provided through Transportation Worker Identification Credential Program (TWIC) fees in Fiscal Year 2026. The estimated contract value is based on current monthly staffing levels and rates from the existing order 70T02021F7500N015, with no new scope or increased level of effort anticipated. Place of performance is Germantown, Maryland.
