Covenant Aviation Security's SFO Screening Task Order Tops $773 Million in Cumulative TSA Obligations
The task order funds security screening services at San Francisco International Airport under a TSA private-screening contract vehicle
Covenant Aviation Security, LLC has received $773,033,270 in cumulative obligations from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a component of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), for a task order supporting security screening services at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), according to federal spending data. The task order, numbered 70T05021F5900N002, was signed on February 5, 2021, and carries a base-and-all-options ceiling of $787,906,460.80.
The task order was issued under parent indefinite-delivery vehicle HSTS0516DSPP906 and was procured through full-and-open competition. TSA's Mission Essentials office administers the award, which is classified under NAICS code 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) and product/service code S206.
Covenant Aviation Security operates under TSA's Screening Partnership Program (SPP), which allows certain airports to use TSA-vetted private contractors rather than federal Transportation Security Officers to conduct passenger and baggage screening, under direct TSA oversight. SFO has operated under private screening since the program's inception. For GovCon practitioners, the task order — now approaching its ceiling value roughly four years after award — illustrates the scale of long-running SPP contracts at major hub airports and the steady, multi-year obligation pattern typical of TSA's aviation-security services spending.
