Can I procure Capability and not donate it to TSA, or can it be bailed instead of donated?

Capability on the ACL either may be donated or bailed to TSA.  A bailment is an agreement executed between TSA and the Donor to document the ability for TSA to operate the technology for a specified period of time.  For example, a bailment may be used when it is in the Donor’s best interest to retain ownership of the Capability for some period of time and transfer title of the Capability to TSA following that period.  TSA understands that this may be the best option for a Donor and is willing to work with a Donor to execute a short-term bailment with the intent to donate the technology to TSA at the end of the bailment period.
