Battelle selected by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for $350 million task-order contract

Battelle will provide test and evaluation services to the TSA under a five-year, multiple award contract with a $350 million ceiling. As part of the contract Battelle will bid on task orders to provide test and evaluation services to the TSA on security equipment in government testing facilities and when it is installed at airports around the country.

Battelle has supported the test and evaluation of security equipment used to protect the national transportation infrastructure since 1997. The contract includes supporting an integrated evaluation strategy, including all data collection and analysis services required to support TSA security equipment testing objectives. A portion of this test and evaluation support will be performed at the TSA’s Systems Integration Facility (TSIF) at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C.
