- Description
- The Transportation Security Adminstration?s (TSA)is requesting information from vendors and researchers about products that could be used to assess various aspects of fitness-for-duty for US airport screeners. The purpose of this request is to aid the TSA in selecting and evaluating products that could be used to provide a daily, fast, and reliable evaluation of airport security screener impairment caused by drug use, alcohol use, or fatigue. A two-page (maximum) white paper must be submitted to the address below by August 19, 2002 to be considered for this evaluation process. (White papers longer than 2 pages will not be considered.) This white paper must contain a description of the product, including its purpose, underlying technology, and operational specifications. The white paper must also include a brief description of scientific research that has already been conducted that validates the efficacy and safety of the fitness-for-duty product. Also, provide estimates of the cost for the product and the cost of each test administration. To be considered for further evaluation, each product must meet all of the following specifications: 1. It must be scientifically proven to accurately detect the presence of one or more of the following conditions in humans: a. Temporary cognitive or attentional impairment b. Temporary impairment in judgment c. Impairment due to drug use d. Impairment due to alcohol use e. Impairment due to fatigue caused by any factors, including, but not limited to, sleep deprivation or medication 2. It must be scientifically proven to be safe for use by adults on a daily basis. 3. The average security supervisor, requiring less than one day (8 hours) of training, must be able to easily administer the test and interpret the results. 4. The entire testing process (i.e., time absent from work) must be less than 10 minutes. 5. The processing time for test results must be less than 30 minutes. 6. There must be no disruption to normal security operations. Vendors/researchers who submit white papers for products that the TSA considers applicable to its needs will be asked to provide a more detailed proposal for evaluation. Selected products may be further evaluated by the TSA for consideration for use in airport security settings. The deadline for all white paper submissions is August 19, 2002. Submissions received after that date may not be considered. All white papers (2 pages only) should be sent to the following TSA technical monitor and address: Joshua Rubinstein, Ph.D. Transportation Security Administration William J.
