Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) Qualified Products List (QPL)
Solicitation # 70T04026QPL7672ETD001
The Transportation Security Administration is establishing a Qualification Process under FAR 9.202 to add desktop Explosive Trace Detection systems to its existing Qualified Products List. This initiative aims to increase competition for future procurements of systems used by Transportation Security Officers to screen passengers and baggage. To be eligible, applicants must be Original Equipment Manufacturers whose systems meet specific TSA Detection Standards, adhere to the Functional Requirements Document Version 2.0, and comply with IT security and Security Technology Information Exchange compatibility requirements. Successful qualification requires a multi-step process involving the submission of Certification Data Packages and Qualification Data Packages, as well as the provision of equipment via no-cost bailment agreements for testing at the Transportation Security Laboratory and up to five field sites. The process involves stringent security and vetting requirements, including a Secret level security clearance and the execution of TSA Form 2815 for access to Sensitive Security Information. Applicants must provide detailed facility information, including their Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, and submit required data packages via thumb drives to designated TSA offices. While the QPL remains open until closed by the agency, the deadline for Certification Data Package submission is April 30, 2027. It is explicitly noted that placement on the Qualified Products List does not guarantee a contract award, as future procurement decisions will be made based on arising requirements through either competitive or sole source justifications.

The Transportation Security Administration is establishing a Qualification Process for an Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) Qualified Products List (QPL) under solicitation 70T04026QPL7672AIT001. This initiative, conducted in accordance with FAR 9.202, seeks to identify and certify AIT systems for use at screening checkpoints. The process is divided into three functional categories: Track 0 for Dynamic Motion Systems, Track 1 for Static Motion Systems, and Track 2 for Flexible Detection Systems. To be eligible, applicants must be Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and demonstrate that their products meet the technical and operational standards defined in the Functional Requirements Document (FRD) and the Qualification Management Plan (QMP). The qualification process is a multi-step sequence requiring the submission and approval of a Vendor Data Package (VDP) and a comprehensive Qualification Data Package (QDP). Systems must undergo rigorous Qualification Testing (QT), a Cooperative Vulnerability Penetration Assessment (CVPA) for cybersecurity, and an Independent Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E). Final placement on the QPL requires a satisfactory finding from the Independent Test Agent and approval from the Component Acquisition Executive. While listing on the QPL does not guarantee a contract award, it is a mandatory prerequisite for future procurement consideration. Strict security and compliance protocols are in effect, requiring all participating employees to sign TSA Form 2815 for access to Sensitive Security Information (SSI) and adhere to 49 CFR Part 1520. All submitted systems must comply with the Buy American Act and applicable Trade Agreements. The process is managed through a series of amendments, with the most recent update, Amendment 0004, refining the QPL announcement and submission requirements.
