# TSA Forecasts Testing BPA Recompetes

The Transportation Security Administration plans two competitive, unrestricted Blanket Purchase Agreement recompetes for airport security equipment testing, each estimated at $50 million to $100 million. Solicitations are forecast for January 2027, with awards expected in the third quarter of FY2027. TSA has not yet determined the contract type or acquisition vehicle, and directs prospective bidders to the Department of Homeland Security’s Acquisition Planning Forecast System for updates.

- The opportunities cover distinct testing needs: acceptance testing of security equipment and integrated testing support, including execution, assessment, reporting, program management, data analysis, and engineering.
- Companies with relevant testing experience—including the identified incumbents, Analytical Services and Materials and SAIC—can use the forecast to assess their competitiveness and prepare for the upcoming solicitations.
- Because the contract type and acquisition vehicle remain undetermined, prospective bidders should consult the DHS Acquisition Planning Forecast System as TSA updates the procurement details.
