Contract Ceiling: $3.3 billion

Eligible Users: Open to all federally staffed airports in the United States that require security screening services that have gone through the application process.

Benefits:

• Shorter Wait Times During Peak Hours – Private companies have more flexibility with scheduling and staffing. They can set their own staffing targets and employ as many screeners as they deem fit to accomplish the mission.
• Increased Airline Satisfaction– If an airline needs to reschedule a flight to a non-scheduled time, private companies can accommodate this change as they have more scalability, flexibility, and adaptability in flight changes while maintaining consistent coverage to meet operational demands. TSA would not be able to support the screening due to scheduling limitations and lack of overtime hours.
• Continuous Screening – Private employees are not subject to government shutdowns, ensuring that there are no terminal closures due to being short staffed.
• Lower Cost – Private companies can set their own pricing model while offering competitive benefits to their screeners unlike federal employee requirements.
• Improved Customer Service – Private companies have more flexibility in developing community outreach techniques and programs to educate the public with their screeners. This allows for more positive exchanges with passengers and specialized attention to elderly and disabled passengers, and children.
