What VMD does
VMD Corp is a private U.S. aviation security services company founded in 2002 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia. It operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xcelerate Solutions following a February 2024 acquisition. VMD provides passenger, baggage, aviation worker, cargo, and exit lane screening under the TSA Screening Partnership Program (SPP) at 21 commercial airports across the United States, employing 700+ Aviation Security Professionals. The company is a designated participant in TSA's SPP IDIQ contract (HSTS05-16-D-SPP913), which carries a $3.3 billion ceiling and runs through May 2026, and holds additional federal contract vehicles including CIO-SP3, GSA OASIS+, and GSA MAS for IT and cybersecurity services.
VMD's technical core is the Gigaplex™ remote screening platform, a registered trademark that enables real-time, offsite centralized review of CT X-ray images from airport scanners at belt speeds of 400 images per hour. The technology uses open architecture compatible with any qualified brand of CT X-ray and supports both on-screen alarm resolution and advanced imaging body scanners. Supporting infrastructure includes X-ray machines, walk-through metal detectors, explosive detection systems, credential authentication technology, and biometrics. VMD holds ISO 9001, ISO 20000-1, ISO 27001, CMMI SVC Level 3, V3 certification, and SAFETY Act designation from DHS.
The business operates through a B2G, government-contracting model with no public consumer offering. Revenue is generated under multi-year IDIQ contracts (Firm-Fixed-Price, Cost Reimbursement, Time-and-Materials, Labor-Hour task orders) across SPP, CIO-SP3, OASIS+, and GSA MAS. Customer acquisition is driven by formal federal procurement vehicles and relationships with TSA, GSA, NITAAC, and individual commercial airport authorities. VMD also offers ancillary services including airport claims processing for lost and found items, integrated with the Chargerback platform.

Regional players
