The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Acquisition Program Management (APM) office, Program Executive Office Security Screening Systems, Deployment and Logistics Division (DLD) has a continuing requirement for Security Equipment Deployment Services (SEDS) – Checked Baggage.

The TSA Mission is to protect the nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce.  The APM office’s mission states: “We deliver innovative, mission-driven capabilities required by the frontline to safeguard America’s transportation system”.

The Electronic Baggage Screening Program (EBSP) was established by congressional mandate for screening of all passenger checked baggage for prohibited items, including explosives.

APM achieves this mission by managing the full life-cycle of screening equipment acquisition activities including requirements identification, testing, procurement, deployment and sustainment.

Congress authorizes TSA to make grants to airports to help strengthen the nation’s critical infrastructure against risks associated with potential terrorist attacks. TSA utilizes letters of intent (LOI) and other transaction agreements (OTA) as funding instruments to reimburse airport sponsors for eligible aviation security projects. TSA distributes funds to airports to assist in infrastructure improvements to enhance the ability of airports to:

• Install baggage conveyer systems related to aviation security.
• Reconfigure terminal baggage areas as required to install explosives detection systems.
• Deploy explosives detection systems behind the ticket counter, in the baggage sorting area or in line with the baggage handling system.

Within APM, the DLD ensures that the most efficient and effective capabilities and technology are deployed for checked baggage screening operations. DLD develops and implements field communication strategies prior to deploying equipment, and ensures regional consistency in all deployment activities/standards for checked baggage deployment. DLD coordinates and prioritizes deployment efforts with partners to ensure appropriate timelines and support are in place to effectively deploy qualified screening equipment.  DLD deploys and maintains operational efficacy of screening technology that ensures operating conditions continue to meet or exceed procurement expectations and criteria during equipment life cycles. DLD develops and maintains a Security Capabilities Deployment Plan that is sustainable for the field.

Currently TSA uses Explosives Detection Systems (EDS) in in-line (EDS Type I) or Standalone (EDS Type II) configurations and Explosives Trace Detection (ETD) equipment to screen checked baggage.  Checked baggage screening solutions are designed to meet the screening demand required with the most cost effective solution.  All qualified screening equipment is considered to find the optimal Checked Baggage Inspection System (CBIS) type for each baggage screening location while considering many factors related to available infrastructure, baggage screening demand, and cost to procure, install, and maintain the CBIS type.
