TSA ATSS RE-COMPETITION

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is issuing a supplemental Request for Information (RFI) to gather market capability data for the upcoming re‑competition of its Acceptance Testing Support Services (ATSS) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). ATSS provides acceptance testing of Transportation Security Equipment (TSE) at factories and field sites, as well as related program‑management and engineering support. Respondents must submit a ten‑page white paper addressing specific capability questions (e.g., experience with TSE testing, staffing surge capacity, schedule volatility, remote testing, logistics, technical support, subcontracting, and oversight of third‑party testing). Submissions must include a cover letter (and optional capability statement) and be emailed by October 7, 2026. The current BPA (NAICS 541330) ends January 2, 2027; the re‑competition may use a new contract vehicle. • Federal, nationwide scope – testing at factories, airports, and other TSA locations across the U.S. • Requires engineering, technical, and logistical expertise for 1‑4 hour tests on 20+ TSE configurations. • Anticipated volume: ~1,660 tests per fiscal year at ~800 locations (FY 2025 data). • Submit a white‑paper response (≤10 pages) plus cover letter by 10 Oct 2026. • No contract award date or value disclosed; the effort will likely be a multi‑year BPA.
