Interested vendors must submit a white paper in one of three formats: a five-page document, a ten-slide deck, or a seven-minute video with a transcript. Submissions may include a two-page technical addendum and must address company information, solution performance, technical characteristics, cybersecurity posture, and a rough order of magnitude for demonstration and lifecycle costs. There are three submission windows ending on January 15, 2027, May 15, 2027, and October 29, 2027, with all materials sent via email to TSA.Innovation@tsa.dhs.gov. TSA will evaluate submissions based on demonstration feasibility, evaluation quality, vendor capability, resource costs, and transition potential. Selected vendors must be able to provide a system for pre-demonstration assessment within 90 days of selection. While the BAA does not obligate the government to provide funding, the TSA Contracting Officer will determine the appropriate procurement instrument at the time of award, which may include bailment agreements, other transaction agreements, or memorandums of agreement.
