WILMINGTON, Mass., Nov. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Implant Sciences Corporation (OTCQB:IMSC), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security and defense markets, announced today it has entered into an Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for its QS-B220 desktop explosives trace detectors, which recently received TSA qualification for airport checkpoint passenger and baggage screening. The IDIQ, a necessary prerequisite for competing for TSA's annual trace detection procurements, establishes contract terms under which the TSA could purchase up to $162 million of equipment and services.

With this agreement, Implant Sciences becomes the first non-radioactive ETD manufacturer for passenger and baggage screening in airports. This is a testament to the performance and value delivered by our next-generation explosives trace detectors," stated Implant Sciences' CEO, Glenn D. Bolduc.
