TSA anticipates making multiple awards under the intended Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) solicitation for security screening services.

TSA plans to acquire screening services from commercial vendors through a 10-year multiple award IDIQ with a series of task orders, each of which will typically span a base year and up to four one-year options.
