TSA Administrator David Cummins said the agency discontinued the Gold+ program because industry stakeholders were unclear about its purpose and incentives, and Tampa International Airport opted out after further review and concerns from screening officers.
The agency is now considering changes to its Screening Partnership Program to broaden private‑sector participation, has received interest from several airports, and assembled a team to explore how to reshape the program, which currently operates at 20 U.S. airports.
Before canceling Gold+, TSA issued a solicitation for a potential $12.9 billion indefinite‑delivery/indefinite‑quantity contract covering screening technology, maintenance and personnel at participating airports.
