Solicitation # 70T04026SN7573N001

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is seeking to qualify air cargo screening devices through the Air Cargo Screening Qualification Test (ACSQT) process, with the goal of listing compliant technologies on the Air Cargo Screening Technology List (ACSTL). This initiative is administered under solicitation number 70T04026SN7573N001, posted on April 30, 2026, with responses due by April 29, 2031. The process is non-binding and informational, designed for original equipment manufacturers to demonstrate that their devices meet stringent technical, safety, and regulatory benchmarks. Vendors must submit a white paper containing device specifications, block diagrams, user manuals, training materials, and evidence of compliance with international and U.S. standards including IEC 61326-1 for electromagnetic compatibility, FCC Part 15 for radio frequency interference, UL 61010-1 for electrical safety, ISO 9001 for quality management, and ISO 10007 for configuration management. Devices are evaluated through a two-stage testing process: Stage I in TSA-authorized laboratories and Stage II in operational air cargo environments, with qualification dependent on successful performance against TSA-specific detection standards for ETD, MD, and EDS systems. Vendors must be legally recognized entities with a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and, if applicable, a CAGE code. Each vendor must designate a Senior Corporate Official with non-delegable responsibility for ensuring Sensitive Security Information (SSI) protection, compliance with all security protocols, and annual certification to TSA.

Vendors are required to pass through all SSI handling obligations to business associates and notify TSA of any employee terminations within 30 days. Devices must be delivered to TSA test locations at the vendor’s expense, with return logistics also the vendor’s responsibility, implying FOB Origin terms. No contract pricing, payment details, or financial line items are included as this is a qualification program—not a procurement—though successful qualification is a prerequisite for potential future Lowest Price Technically Acceptable procurements.
