# TSA Modernizes Airport Checkpoints

TSA Administrator David Cummins outlined the agency’s Horizon 25 strategy, which aims to modernize airport checkpoints and improve the traveler experience, including PreCheck upgrades and staffing plans. The signal identifies agency priorities but does not announce a solicitation, contract value, acquisition timeline, or procurement contact.

- For contractors, Horizon 25 is a strategic indicator of TSA’s checkpoint modernization priorities, not a confirmed procurement opportunity.
- Companies with relevant airport screening, checkpoint modernization, or operational staffing capabilities can assess how their offerings align with the stated priorities; the signal does not specify requirements or a path to compete.
