TSA Third Party Testing Framework

TSA currently maintains a robust Test and Evaluation (T&E) organization to oversee and conduct test activities for TSA screening equipment demonstrations and system acquisitions. TSA T&E has an established Third-Party Testing (TPT) framework which details procedures for conducting TPT of candidate screening systems on behalf of an equipment vendor or donor.  With appropriate oversight from TSA T&E, TPT data can be accepted to help inform the assessment of a system’s ability to meet TSA’s performance requirements. The attached documents outline TSA’S TPT framework.
