The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 10, Market Research. No solicitation is available at this time. TSA is issuing this RFI for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment by the Government. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Office of Training and Workforce Engagement (OTWE) is conducting market research for the purposes of identifying businesses who have demonstrated highly specialized or advanced capabilities in Specialized Security or Technical Training, X-Ray Training Simulation, Curriculum Development, Training kits, and Computer based training programs for threat image interpretation. The Contractor must create, provide, and deliver training kits, physical training aids, and specialized materials to enhance a Transportation Security Officer‘s (TSO) skills and abilities to identify threat items, including Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and its components, explosives, and weapons.

I. DESCRIPTION

Background:
The Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA, Public Law 107-71) requires TSA to develop, implement, and manage training programs for their transportation security workforce. The mission of the Specialized Security Training (SST) program is to ensure continuation of vital training services needed by TSA to support initial and recurring specialized security training and to respond in a timely manner to security training needs related to emerging technologies and new threats. TSA’s workforce is geographically dispersed at more than 450 airports and offices throughout the nation. The TSO population is hired through local processes at over 130 geographically dispersed hiring locations on a two-week hiring cycle. Approximately between 7,000 and 14,000 new TSOs are hired each year. Other key specialized training include: Regulatory Enforcement and Compliance, Explosives Specialists and Behavior Detection Officers.

The SST program is a centralized, threat-based program that is required to provide both initial and recurrent training and assessments to TSA employees, including over 45,000 security officers, based on the standard operating procedures and screening equipment used at the passenger and baggage checkpoints. The SST program involvesinstructor-led and computer-based training, including threat image simulation based training and testing on a variety of x-ray and other detection equipment types. The SST program currently uses the following software simulator technologies:

1) For checkpoint- Perkin-Elmer (LS110-1) TRX; L-3 Phase II (LS-110-II) TRX; Rapiscan (520 series) TRX; Smiths Heimann TRX; Rapiscan AT; Smits AT; L3 AT

2) For checked baggage- L3 3DX 6000/6600; CTX 2500; CTX 5500; CTX 9000; CTX 9400; CT-80; CT-80 DR

3) Emerging Technology for checked baggage- CT-80 DR+

The SST program currently consists of: 1) developing curricula, training tools, and materials; 2) plans and schedules training courses; 3) delivers training through classroom led instruction, laboratories and other methods; and 4) conducts assessments and evaluations to determine the effectiveness of training programs and instructorperformance. Training categories include: passenger and baggage screening operations; explosive detection canine handler; regulatory enforcement and compliance; and, specialized technical training for explosives specialists and behavior detection officers. Additionally, the SST program provides logistics and training operational support for agency conducted and sponsored training, and is responsible for developing and fielding training related technologies and tools required to meet agency security trainingrequirements.

Beyond meeting these minimum current operational requirements, the development and delivery of training provided by the SST program must be able to: 1) keep pace with a changing threat environment; 2) accommodate different student populations; 3) incorporate new screening tools, techniques and procedures that become available; and 4) provide additional training that may become necessary to support effective security operations across additional modes of transportation.

Objective:
TSA is requesting information and conducting market research for the SST program through this RFI to identify and provide TSA with the latest available and emergingtraining methodologies and technology for training TSA employees, including Transportation Security Officers (TSOs), inspectors, and other security workforce for improved mission performance.
