Quick Summary
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), under the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a Sole Source Justification for a modification to an existing task order (TO 70T02025F7503N004) with ReliaSource, Inc. This action procures additional touchless identity verification units for biometric identity at airports, specifically to support the CMAP lanes. The modification is justified as a logical follow-on to a competitively awarded FSS order, aiming for economy and efficiency.
Purpose & Scope
This modification is for the procurement of additional touchless identity verification units for CMAP lanes, including associated warranty and shipping. It also covers deployment activities to install, configure, and operationalize these units at CMAP locations, along with field support during deployment. Hardware and Helpdesk support will be included in option periods. No full-time equivalent staff positions are part of this modification; services are project-specific.

Additional Notes
This is a justification for a sole source action, not a new solicitation. The underlying hardware (Dell, FLIR, Kowa) is brand-name specific and was previously tested and approved by DHS S&T. TSA owns the software applications and images for the laptops. The modification is considered a logical follow-on to maintain continuity of technical architecture, deployment approach, warranty, and support, thereby avoiding duplicative efforts. This action supports TSA's statutory responsibility under the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 for biometric verification and enhanced security.
