HSTS04-09-R-CT2075 - Transportation Security Administration Explosive Trace Detectors Qualified Product List (QPL)

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has officially closed the solicitation for sources of desktop and portable Explosive Trace Detectors (ETD) and is discontinuing the existing ETD Qualified Product List (QPL). This action is prompted by the deletion of the original solicitation from the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website due to technical errors, which prevented recovery of the solicitation. Consequently, no further submissions, including white papers, will be accepted under this solicitation. The TSA has issued a special notification to formalize these changes and directs interested parties to a follow-on solicitation for future ETD trace detection requirements available through an updated FBO link. The contract, identified as HSTS04-09-R-CT2075, was posted on January 20, 2016, under the Department of Homeland Security's Contracting and Procurement office, specifically related to the NAICS code 334511, which pertains to electronic component manufacturing. The point of contact for the solicitation is Robyn Peters, based in Springfield, VA. This closure marks a significant procedural update concerning TSA’s procurement for ETD technologies, and stakeholders are advised to refer to the provided FBO link for upcoming opportunities and new solicitations.
