# TSA Seeks Input for ATSS Recompetition

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is initiating the recompete process for its Acceptance Testing Support Services (ATSS) contract, which supports comprehensive testing and evaluation of transportation security equipment nationwide. The current blanket purchase agreement (BPA), valued at more than $100 million and held by incumbent contractor SAIC, is set to expire in January 2027. TSA has requested industry feedback by October 7, 2026, to inform its acquisition strategy for the follow-on contract, signaling an opportunity for contractors to influence requirements and prepare for upcoming solicitations.

- The ATSS contract encompasses factory, site, operational readiness, and verification testing critical to transportation security equipment deployment and maintenance.
- Procurement professionals should note the BPA expiration date of January 2, 2027, as a key milestone for transition planning and proposal submissions.
- Industry stakeholders, including current and prospective contractors, can leverage the October 7, 2026, input deadline to provide technical and strategic insights that may shape contract scope and evaluation criteria.
- This recompete reflects TSA's ongoing commitment to maintaining rigorous security standards through robust testing services, underscoring the importance of specialized testing capabilities in transportation security acquisitions.
