Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) Qualified Products List (QPL)

Solicitation # 70T04026QPL7672ETD001

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is conducting a qualification process under FAR 9.202 to add explosive trace detection (ETD) systems to its existing Qualified Products List (QPL). This process is designed to increase competition for future procurements of desktop devices used by officers to detect chemical and explosive compounds. To qualify, applicants must meet specific TSA Detection Standards (DS 5.0, 6.2, or 6.3) and demonstrate capabilities based on the ETD Functional Requirements Document Version 2.0. The qualification path involves several milestones, including the submission of Certification Data Packages (CDP) and Qualification Data Packages (QDP), system testing, and the successful completion of Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E). Placement on the QPL requires approval from the Component Acquisition Executive but does not guarantee a future contract award. Applicants are responsible for all costs associated with the process and must provide at least six production representative systems for testing. Strict security protocols are in place, requiring the designation of a Senior Official and the execution of TSA Form 2815 for access to Sensitive Security Information (SSI), which is limited to ten employees. Submissions must comply with the Buy American Act and applicable Trade Agreements. Key deadlines include the QDP submission by April 30, 2027, and specific timelines for CDP submissions and SSI access requests.
