ROLLING ADMISSIONS TSA reserves the right to periodically hold a new competition for the purpose of adding additional IDIQ holders, or to allow an airport authority to submit a proposal for an IDIQ contract in the instance that TSA will be releasing a task order RFP for that airport. At TSA�s sole discretion, TSA should assess the quality of performance by each IDIQ holder, the number, value and complexity of work assigned to each holder, the amount of competition achieved on each order, the amount of small business participation, whether revisions are needed to the scope of the SOW, and if the ceiling amount of the IDIQ contract needs to be revised. Based on these criteria and the anticipated need for task orders at additional airports, if it is in the best interest of TSA, the CO conduct a new competition to add additional IDIQ holders. TSA reserves the right to limit rolling admissions to small businesses or other socioeconomic categories, or interested airport authorities. Additionally, TSA reserves the right to revise the evaluation criteria for new IDIQ contract competitions. Any new awards will have the same contract expiration date as previously awarded contracts.� Although the awards resulting from this solicitation will contain identical requirements they will have an ordering period that is determined by the date of award for the start date and it will last through May 31, 2026 to ensure equal competition with the current awards that resulted from solicitation No. HSTS05-15-R-SPP047.
