Intent to Sole Source to expand development efforts following the current Checkpoint Automation (CPAM) proof of concept project phase

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) plans to award a sole source contract to Stratovan Corporation to advance the development of the Open Platform Software Library (OPSL) from its current Technology Readiness Level (TRL) to level 7. This development aims to enhance OPSL's capabilities to support third-party Automated Threat Recognition (ATR) algorithm integration on the Threat Recognition Server (T-RECS) and enable its interoperability with the Common Viewing Station. The contract will build upon the ongoing efforts from the Checkpoint Automation (CPAM) proof of concept project, focusing on expanding technology readiness and operational integration. This action will be conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, allowing the government to solicit and negotiate exclusively with a single source without full and open competition. The contract is categorized under NAICS code 541511 and is managed by the TSA’s Security Technology office. The place of performance is Arlington, Virginia, with organizational oversight located in Springfield, Virginia. While this notice informs interested parties of the sole source intent, it does not solicit competitive quotes and any decision not to compete the contract rests solely with the government. Points of contact for the contract include Heather Karle and Lindsay Alexander.
