# TSA Awards Leidos $672M Checkpoint Contract

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) awarded Leidos an eight-year, potential **$672 million** SEDS II IDIQ to deploy, replace, and modernize checkpoint screening equipment at airports and other government sites nationwide. The contract has a $1 million minimum guarantee, with future task orders potentially covering installation, engineering, site preparation, testing, and operational support; orders may use firm-fixed-price or time-and-materials terms.

- Contractors can pursue potential task-order or subcontracting work in equipment deployment, engineering, site preparation, testing, and operations support; the overall ceiling does not guarantee work beyond the minimum amount.
- Companies should assess their ability to support geographically distributed airport and government-site work and the different delivery and pricing approaches allowed under task orders.
- The award adds to TSA’s ongoing checkpoint equipment procurement activity, alongside a separate follow-on logistics support award reported at up to $2.6 billion in December 2024.
