ID Checking Guides and Online ID Checking Guides Services

The contract, awarded on June 29, 2026 under number 70T05026P5900N002, is a sole-source acquisition for ID Checking Guides and an Online ID Checking Guides Subscription Service, issued by the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration. The award to D.R. Myers Distributing Co. is justified under FAR Part 12 for commercial items, citing the proprietary nature and exclusive rights to the Docuctor database and associated guide content, which include comprehensive, high-resolution images of over 1,200 passport types, 50+ U.S. driver’s licenses, and 574 tribal IDs, with real-time updates ensuring accuracy for Transportation Security Officers across 74 hub, 28 CAT X, and 373 spoke airports in CONUS and OCONUS locations. The contract is firm fixed-price with a five-year period of performance, during which printed guides will be distributed annually to CONUS sites and biennially to OCONUS sites, while the online subscription service provides secure, access-controlled, dynamically updated content exclusively to authorized TSA personnel. No competitive solicitation occurred; the acquisition followed a sole-source justification based on market research confirming no alternative providers exist, with no formal evaluation factors, pricing structure, or CLINs disclosed beyond a contracting officer’s approval limit of $900,000. Delivery and performance occur throughout U.S. and international airport locations, with no specified FOB terms, packaging, marking, or preservation standards outlined, and no additional clauses, certifications, or subcontracting requirements included in the documentation. The contracting office is located in Springfield, VA, with Kurt Allen as the primary point of contact, and the procurement leverages a FAR Class Deviation issued April 15, 2025, reinforcing the commercial item acquisition framework without invoking standard FAR clause structures.
