Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), a leading security technology company pioneering AI-based solutions designed to create safer experiences, today announced that Evolv eXpedite™, its AI-powered bag screening solution, has been awarded SAFETY Act Designation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The SAFETY Act is intended to encourage the deployment of technologies designed to help detect, deter, or mitigate acts of terrorism and may provide certain liability protections under federal law, subject to the scope and conditions of the designation.

With this designation, alongside the company’s previously designated Evolv Express® system, both of Evolv’s core weapons detection products are now recognized as Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technologies (QATT) under the SAFETY Act.

“Achieving SAFETY Act Designation for both Evolv Express and Evolv eXpedite is an important milestone,” said John Kedzierski, President and CEO of Evolv Technology. “We remain focused on advancing solutions designed to support layered security approaches that balance strong detection with operational efficiency.”

Evolv eXpedite launched in 2024 with a clear goal: to help security teams manage high volumes of cluttered bags without sacrificing flow or detection confidence. The solution can be paired with Evolv Express® walk-through screening, and autonomously screens bags, without requiring a trained operator to interpret X-ray images.

School districts, such as Spartanburg School District Five and Salem Keizer Public Schools are achieving high clear rates*, and smooth entry flow, when pairing eXpedite with Evolv Express. eXpedite is also deployed across numerous professional sports venues, hospitals, state capitals, and other venues and has screened over 20 million bags to date.

This milestone marks a significant moment for Evolv and its customers, reinforcing the company’s commitment to delivering advanced solutions designed to help organizations enhance their security operations without slowing people down.

*”Clear rate” as used here represents the approximate percentage of visitors who pass through the Express screening system without generating an alert.
