Request for Proposal (RFP) 70T05025R5900N002 - Screening Partnership Program Follow-On Procurement

70T05025R5900N002 is the official Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) solicitation for Security Screening Services at Airports nationwide, under the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Screening Partnership Program (SPP). These services include comprehensive screening of passengers and baggage at airports participating in the SPP.

The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 488190. The SPP provides an operational capability of indefinite duration, and it is expected to continue as long as airport passenger, baggage and counter-to-counter cargo screening are required. 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.

The IDIQ ordering period is anticipated to be September 2025 through August 2035. Upcoming task orders may be tailored to the specific needs of the airport and TSA. The Government anticipates awarding approximately nine small business IDIQ awards and approximately six awards to other than small businesses but reserves the right to award fewer or additional contracts based on the Government consideration for enhanced competition and/or operational efficiency.

Future airport Task Order solicitations will be provided to only the companies that are awarded an IDIQ contract. Comments or correspondence must be submitted in accordance with the information/instructions contained in the solicitation. Potential offerors are hereby notified that the solicitation and subsequent amendments to the solicitation will only be available on the System for Award Management (SAM) website, www.sam.gov.

Prospective offerors are notified that requests for clarification regarding a specific solicitation, or communication with the Contracting Officer, must be specific to the solicitation and follow its specific instructions. Clarifications submitted through instructions not intended for that solicitation will not be addressed or responded to. Prospective offerors are responsible for downloading the Request for Proposal (RFP) and all attachments.
