- Description
- SYNOPSIS: THIS IS A PRE-SOLICIATION NOTICE ONLY: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Technology Innovation and Acquisition (OTIA) has a requirement for the Remote Video Surveillance System (RVSS) Upgrade and intends to issue a solicitation on a full and open competition basis to procure a fully integrated, non-developmental, RVSS upgrade that encompasses open system architecture to be used by United States Border Patrol (USBP) Agents. DHS/CBP is NOT interested in any kind of a system development. The RVSS Upgrade procurement is one element of a broader CBP strategy to rapidly acquire non-developmental (and ideally commercially available) systems to support border protection efforts. The technology combines with other resources and capabilities, notably personnel, infrastructure, and intelligence, to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of our border protection efforts. The RVSS upgrade capability will provide enhanced persistent, wide area surveillance for detection, tracking, identification and classification of illegal entries. The RVSS Upgrade consists of two parallel activities; (1) upgrade selected RVSS sites with newer capability and (2) install upgraded technology at new sites. The currently existing RVSS utilizes multiple color cameras and thermal infrared detection video cameras and ancillary equipment, which are integrated into a remotely controlled system that can monitor and record activity within an Area of Responsibility (AoR) during both daytime and nighttime operations. The RVSS sensor images are transmitted via a dedicated communications sub-system to a Border Patrol Station where the information is processed, displayed, and where the USBP agent can monitor and control the system. The Government expects the solicitation to be released via FEDBIZOPS on or about 31 January 2012 and is not seeking proposals from industry at this time. COMPETITION TYPE: Full and Open Competition based upon Best Value with a base and option quantities/periods. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUIREMENT: The U.S. Customs and Border Protection intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP), single award contract. The contract will be awarded for an initial site upgrade in the State of Arizona. Upon successful completion and Government acceptance of the initial site installation, the Government may at its option, exercise additional station AOR installs within Arizona and the state of Texas. Operation and maintenance of all sites is also contemplated under this contract. The period of performance of this contract is anticipated to be ten years after contract award.
