Receipt Transactions and Reconciliation Services

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a division of the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a Special Notice regarding receipt transaction and reconciliation services. Posted on January 15, 2026, this notice announces the agency's intent to award a contract to Airlines Reporting Corporation for services supporting the Systems Operation Control Section. The procurement will be conducted using other than full and open competition under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302 authority, meaning the agency intends to solicit and negotiate with a single source rather than through a competitive bidding process. This Special Notice serves as a formal announcement to the contracting community and provides an opportunity for interested parties to demonstrate their capability to fulfill the stated requirements.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intent to award a noncompetitive contract while providing an opportunity for other interested vendors to express their capability and interest in the requirement. The deadline for interested parties to respond is January 30, 2026, fifteen days from the posting date. While this is not a formal request for competitive proposals, the government reserves the right to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received, though the final determination rests solely with the government. Contractors interested in participating directly should submit their interest and capability statements by the due date, while vendors seeking subcontracting opportunities are encouraged to contact Airlines Reporting Corporation directly to explore collaboration possibilities.
