# TSA Awards Leidos $672.5M Checkpoint Contract

On September 28, 2026, the Transportation Security Administration awarded Leidos the second Security Equipment Deployment Services Checkpoint contract, a single-award IDIQ with an eight-year ordering period, a **$672.5 million ceiling**, and a $1 million minimum guarantee. The work covers deployment and lifecycle support for checkpoint-screening equipment at U.S. airports and other government sites. TSA received three bids, and Leidos is the incumbent from the original 2021 contract. The ceiling is not guaranteed revenue; task orders will determine the work performed and actual spending.

- Companies can review SAM.gov for task-order activity and assess potential subcontracting opportunities as requirements are issued.
- The award gives TSA a vehicle for equipment installation, relocation, and decommissioning; firms offering relevant logistics, installation, or equipment support may find opportunities through task orders or subcontracting.
- With three bids received and the incumbent retaining the work, competing contractors can use the procurement as an indicator of the competitive landscape for TSA screening-equipment deployment.
