  • The program is open to entities regulated by TSA, including those operating in non-traditional or remote airport locations.
  • No specific OEMs or vendors are named; the service is provided directly by TSA.
  • The service requested is security screening, not a product procurement.

• HUD and USDA Energy Efficiency Standards Rescission

  • HUD and USDA have rescinded previously adopted energy efficiency standards for new construction of agency-financed housing.
  • The rescinded standards referenced the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and ASHRAE 90.1.
  • No products, services, or OEMs are being solicited as part of this action.

• BLM Land Sale Proposal

Description

This notice announces the immediate rescission of the Final Determination regarding the adoption of energy efficiency standards for new construction of housing financed by HUD and USDA. The Final Determination, originally published on April 26, 2024, and subsequent extension notices are rescinded effective May 1, 2026. The rescission is due to concerns that the standards negatively affect housing affordability and availability, and the Final Determination has been judicially vacated. The Departments will revert to the energy efficiency standards that were in effect prior to the Final Determination.
