What Does the TSA Deployment Work Cover?
The contractor will handle shipping, rigging, installation, relocation and decommissioning of checkpoint equipment at airports, TSA laboratories and other government sites, including locations outside the continental U.S.
Specific services span site surveys, design, site preparation, electrical installation, logistics and equipment testing.
Equipment covered includes advanced imaging technology, walk-through metal detectors, advanced technology X-ray, explosive trace detection, bottled liquid scanners, computed tomography, credential authentication technology and chemical analysis devices.
What Is Leidos’ History With TSA Screening Equipment?
Leidos won the prior checkpoint deployment contract in 2021 at a potential $470.7 million over five years, covering the same scope across federalized airports in the U.S. and its territories.
That work also included support for special events, such as presidential inaugurations, and for international deployments.
The company has supported TSA equipment deployment for more than a decade through earlier contracts and separately maintains screening equipment at federalized airports under an integrated logistics support award.
