- Pre Solicitation -- Notice / Procurement #1406-04-07-RP-66155 License Plate Reader System for CBP/DHS The Department of Interior (DOI), GovWorks National Business Center (NBC) in conjunction with The U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP), a component of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has a requirement for a License Plate Reader (LPR) system that enables accurate, automated real-time queries of license plate information. This requirement is being issued as full and open in accordance FAR Part 15 for competitive acquisitions. This pre-solicitation notice does not require a response; its purpose is only to notify industry that a full RFP will be posted within the coming weeks, the Government estimates March 29, 2007 as the official release date. Once the official RFP has been released Offerors will have forty-five days to prepare and submit there response. Please note this requirement is subject to the availability of funds. GovWorks does not intend to pay for the preparation of any information submitted in response to this announcement or for RFP submissions. Those interested parties that want to be qualified as a small business must certify their qualification under the North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 334519 (size standard - $500M) "Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing" in their RFP submission. Offerors must be registered in CCR at the time of proposal submission to be deemed responsive. The Government anticipates an award of a hybrid type contract- a multiyear Firm-Fixed-Price Service Contract with Time and Material Construction elements. The period of performance for this contract shall be for a period of one base year and four one (1) year option periods beginning with the date of award. The evaluation of the responses in order to determine source selection will occur in a three-tiered phase: 1) submission of technical & cost proposals, 2) oral presentations and 3) a live solution demonstration. BACKGROUND: The U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP), a component of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has the responsibility to defend the United States (U.S.) borders against the entry of terrorists and terrorist weapons, illegal aliens, narcotics and other threats to our country, while expediting passage for legitimate travelers and trade. The CBP employs a layered enforcement strategy to accomplish this mission, which includes the use of a wide range of technology to target and detect threats to border security. One such technology is the License Plate Reader (LPR) system that enables accurate, automated real-time queries of license plate information to TECS. The LPRs ensure that all passenger vehicles crossing the U.S. land borders have their license plates automatically queried against TECS (and a number of other law enforcement databases), allowing the CBP Officer in the primary lane to focus their attention fully on traffic and any possible threats to security and safety. PURPOSE: The LPRs currently used by CBP are approaching the end of their useful life cycle and CBP has a need to procure a new COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) LPR system that will be able to read and transmit license plate data, including state/province of origin for all types of vehicular traffic, to TECS at a high rate of accuracy; accurately count vehicles passing through lanes with installed LPRs; and perform other specific functions, as outlined in this Statement of Work (SOW), including the ability to save license plate/vehicle images from the LPRs to a searchable database. Questions regarding this announcement shall be submitted via email to david.mitchell@mms.gov. Please include with your questions your full name, reference number 1406-04-07-RP-66155, email subject line "LPR," your organization's name, complete address, phone number and email address.
