Doctor D- thanks! Great find!
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is hereby issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Transportation Security Equipment Deployment Services (TEDS) as defined in Section C of the solicitation. The contract(s) to be awarded as a result of the RFP will encompass all deployments of security capabilities for the TSA. These projects primarily deploy Checkpoint Technologies (CPT) for passenger screening and carry-on baggage, and Checked Baggage Technologies (CBT) for the screening of checked baggage.
In accordance with FAR 52.215-1(f), the Government intends to award one single Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract per geographical region (West, Central, and East) for a total of up to three (3) contract awards. Offerors may choose to propose one, two or all three (3) regions. Offerors proposing all regions shall submit 4 separate proposals: one for East, one for Central, one for West, and one for all Regions.

What can we deduce from this solicit? To deploy in jan.15, they must order very soon.
Perhaps them will order from a company who has the product ready to ship and is inside the usa? But to your point, tsa is sometimes a victim of the corp. games. And as much as I respect them, I have to question them also. I think this speaks to your point that while the tsa is the authority, others can influence the voice / decision process of that authority.
Great post Doctor D! Thanks. You have helped me greatly and for that I am in your debt!
Best of Luck to ALL IMSC LONGS!
