Leidos has won a potential eight-year, $2.6 billion follow-on contract from the Transportation Security Administration for integrated logistics support to help maintain 12,000 units of transportation security equipment, or TSE, deployed at over 430 airports in the U.S. and its territories.
“As air travel volume continues to grow, ensuring fast and frictionless TSA checkpoints will only become more important,” Roy Stevens, president of the national security sector at Leidos, said in a statement published Thursday.
Stevens, a previous Wash100 awardee, said the company will leverage its decades of expertise in logistics, predictive analytics and cybersecurity to continue to deliver mission support to TSA.
According to an award notice published in early January, the contract was awarded in December in support of TSA’s Deployment and Security Division.
Follow-On Checkpoint Sustainment Contract Scope
Under the contract, Leidos will provide contractor logistics support, program management, supply chain risk analysis, IT infrastructure development and maintenance and TSA service response center oversight.
The vendor will also work with original equipment manufacturers to maintain TSE operational availability and other operational metrics through depot, corrective and preventive maintenance.
Since 2013, the company has provided integrated logistics to support TSA’s passenger screening mission. Leidos also leverages the capabilities of its Trusted Mission AI and maintains a dedicated platform to support field service technicians, conduct predictive analytics and capture metrics.
