GST AWARDED
$3.7 MILLION UNDER TRANSPORTATION SECURITY
ADMINISTRATION CONTRACT
FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING AND LOGISTICS
SUPPORT SERVICES (PELSS).
YARDLEY, PA –
November 2011
Global Systems Technologies, Inc (GST) has been
awarded a new task order to provide
Configuration Management (CM) Support to the
Technology Products Qualification Branch of the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
This task order has a $3.7 million ceiling and
was awarded for a five-month base period with
the potential for TSA to exercise three
additional option periods of one (1) year each.
This task order is the second issued to GST
under its Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite
Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Professional
Engineering and Logistics Support Services
(PELSS). In April 2010, TSA issued two IDIQ
contracts for PELSS for a combined total ceiling
price of $100 million. The PELSS contractors
support five programs at TSA: electronic baggage
screening, passenger screening, security
technology integration, advanced surveillance
technology, and air cargo.
GST President Achintya Bhattacharjee stated "GST
has been in security R&D and certification
testing of threat detection systems for many
years. Under PELSS, we support multiple TSA
programs in the integration, deployment, and
on-going support of operational systems."
GST, a nationally recognized leader in aviation
security, has supported the Federal Aviation
Administration and the Department of Homeland
Security for over fifteen years. GST currently
supports Homeland Security R&D, testing of
explosives trace detection equipment, and
development-stage testing for next generation
passenger screening portals. Related products
developed and manufactured by GST include
explosive simulants and simulated IED training
kits used in training Federal Air Marshals and
Transportation Security Officers to identify
explosive threats. GST also has information
technology contracts with US armed forces.
GST supports contracts with Homeland Security,
the US Navy, Army, and Air Force from its
Yardley, PA headquarters and offices in Absecon,
NJ and Crystal City, VA.
