What this contract is for

TSA currently maintains a robust Test and Evaluation (T&E) organization to oversee and conduct test activities for TSA screening equipment demonstrations and system acquisitions. TSA T&E has an established Third-Party Testing (TPT) framework which details procedures for conducting TPT of candidate screening systems on behalf of an equipment vendor or donor. With appropriate oversight from TSA T&E, TPT data can be accepted to help inform the assessment of a system’s ability to meet TSA’s performance requirements. The attached documents outline TSA’S TPT framework.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
