Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Industry Day: Horizon 25 OrchestrateSI and TalentSI

Background
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is hosting an Industry Day to engage industry partners on technology evolution efforts under the Horizon 25 Strategy, which aims to enhance integrated airport operations and talent acquisition. The event is part of TSA's mission to strengthen security, improve traveler experience, and enhance checkpoint efficiency. TSA is seeking both traditional and non-traditional partners with innovative solutions that can transition the agency from reactive processes to proactive, data-driven operations.

Work Details
The Industry Day will cover two main areas: OrchestrateSI and TalentSI. Under OrchestrateSI, TSA seeks integrated solutions for predictive operational management, including:

1) Workforce Orchestration and Optimization - capabilities for predictive scheduling, automated shift bidding, dynamic capacity modeling, and interoperability with existing systems;

2) Checkpoint Visualization and Digital Twin - using video analytics and sensor technologies to identify passenger-flow anomalies;

3) Real-Time Airport Wait Time Intelligence - a platform integrating various data feeds to forecast passenger volume and improve traveler experience.

For TalentSI, TSA is interested in automation capabilities that streamline the applicant journey from job announcement through onboarding. This includes secure exchanges of medical processing information, workflow automation for candidate milestones, and dashboards for improved visibility in hiring processes. All proposed solutions must comply with applicable security, privacy, and accessibility requirements.
