About this forecast

The Transportation Security Administration is procuring network and telecom equipment, licensing, maintenance, and support through a Blanket Purchase Agreement under a total small business set-aside, with estimated solicitation release on April 30, 2026, and estimated award on September 1, 2026. The scope consolidates TSA's Cisco-based network infrastructure comprising over 5,000 devices across more than 600 TSA sites and includes annual maintenance, hardware failure protection, technical support, licensing, and device upgrades to maintain FISMA compliance and address end-of-life and end-of-service-life equipment.

The estimated contract value ranges from $50 million to $100 million with a performance period through August 31, 2036. Place of performance is Springfield, Virginia. Primary government contact is John German at john.german@tsa.dhs.gov or (571) 227-5493, with Small Business Office Coordinator Toshia Rollins at (609) 813-3366.

This recompete succeeds the single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract HSTS0315DCIO007, originally awarded to Regency Consulting Inc., a HUBZone-certified small disadvantaged business, on September 30, 2015. The predecessor contract had a ceiling value of $94,005,094.32 and a completion date of September 25, 2025, and established the framework for purchasing network equipment and support services to replace end-of-life and underpowered networking hardware across multiple TSA field locations. The follow-on BPA maintains the total small business set-aside requirement and expands scope to address all categories of network equipment and provide centralized contracting for ongoing and emerging TSA network infrastructure needs.

Forecast text

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has made a significant investment in Cisco hardware and software and built its mission-critical applications using Cisco equipment as the platform. The TSA network contains a combination of over 5,000 Cisco devices (e.g. routers, switches, wireless, security, voice over IP, servers, and other dedicated appliances) with accompanying software and licensing that deliver high-end network and telecommunication capabilities and connectivity to over 600 TSA sites. The infrastructure is critical and used by all TSA staff including screeners, officers and the Law Enforcement (LE officers) to continue protecting life and property on the front lines. The infrastructure requires annual hardware failure protection, licensing, technical support, bug fixes, vulnerability patches, and maintenance. Additionally, these devices require upgrades or replacement as they near End of Life (EOL) and End of Service Life (EOSL) for TSA to remain Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) compliant and provide a secure network. Currently, numerous Divisions across TSA acquire networking and telecommunications equipment, licensing, maintenance, and support utilizing multiple contracts and task orders to address emerging requirements. TSA had an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) for a subset of hardware (specified switches and routers) which expired in September 2025. Establishing a follow-on Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to replace all categories of network equipment and provide ongoing licensing and maintenance provides a central contract to meet ongoing and emerging needs.
