Passenger Self Screening Systems for Aviation Checkpoint

The Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations issued a Request for Information seeking input to develop a passenger self-screening solution for aviation checkpoints that would enable independent identity verification, divestiture, and screening by travelers without direct security officer assistance. Responses are requested by December 4, 2019 to provide information on feasibility, technological capabilities, and resource requirements to create a system that detects all currently screened items under PreCheck and accommodates both single and multiple passengers.

There is no set-aside designated for this pre-solicitation notice. Suggested concepts should have the capability to identify explosives, weapons, and other threat items for all passenger screening scenarios and accommodate prototypes and development cycles within timeframes and budgets to be determined. No incumbent or current contractors are identified, though responses will inform refinement of technical requirements for potential future solicitations aiming to improve security processing speeds and the airport travel experience while maintaining effectiveness.
