X-Ray Luggage Scanner

Salient Characteristics

This document outlines the "Salient Characteristics" for Baggage X-Ray Machines required by the 325th LRS/LGRD ATF office.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is the Non-SSI (Non-Sensitive Security Information) TSA Air Cargo Screening Technology List (ACSTL), Version 12.9, released on September 30, 2025. It serves as a guide for regulated parties to procure screening devices and associated trace consumables in accordance with TSA-approved security programs.

• Technology Qualification Groups: The list is organized into five groups: Visual Image (VI) Devices, Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) Devices, Metal Detectors (MD) Devices, Explosive Detection Systems (EDS), and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Monitors.
• Technology Sections: Within each group, devices are categorized into three sections: Qualified, Approved, and Grandfathered.
  • Qualified: Devices that have passed TSA-sponsored testing.
  • Approved: Devices conditionally approved, undergoing or scheduled for field testing (up to 36 months to pass).
  • Grandfathered: Devices currently qualified but with a stated expiration date; not recommended for new procurement.
• Device Specifications: For each qualified device, the list includes vendor, model number, part number, material discrimination capability, number of views, capacity, operating and max voltage, and qualification date.
• Appendices: Includes information on Trace Consumables and a list of third-party vendors.

This document is critical for any vendor involved in the procurement or supply of air cargo screening technology. It details which devices are currently qualified, approved, or grandfathered by the TSA, providing essential information for product development, sales, and compliance. Bidders should consult the "Qualified" and "Approved" sections for current procurement opportunities and understand the limitations of the "Grandfathered" section.
