- Description
- The Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) is the security and law enforcement arm of the U.S. Department of State (DOS). DS is a world leader in international investigations, threat analysis, cyber security, counterterrorism, security technology, and protection of people, property, and information. Its primary mission is to provide a safe and secure environment for the conduct of U.S. foreign policy. The Security Technology (ST) directorate supports the DS mission through the application and use of appropriate technical security countermeasures. In support of these responsibilities, DS uses an Imminent Danger Notification System (IDNS). The IDNS must immediately alert DOS building occupants of a perceived or actual threat. It must consist of wireless transmitters, receivers, and possibly other equipment that could boost signal coverage (Figure 1 attached). Activating an IDNS wireless transmitter must initiate a contact closure output or signal an external device(s) within less than one second of alarm activation. The system must be capable of deploying anywhere in the world. DS is seeking commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products for this application. While potential vendors may suggest an item that is a modification of an existing product, the requirement of any future procurement will be a COTS product that is available for sale to the U.S. Government or a U.S. Government contractor or sub-contractor, in single-piece quantities. The Technology Development Branch (DS/ST/FSE/TDB) identifies, evaluates, approves, documents, and provides technical support for all TSSs used by the DOS at overseas facilities. TDB also provides subject matter expertise to support TSSs that are deployed in the field. Objective If a requirement cannot be met in full, the respondent shall state to what extent a particular requirement can be met. Requirement vs target system capability definition: � A �Requirement� must be met if it fits within the technical solution being proposed. � A �Target System Capability� is a desired feature that would be preferable to meet but is not mandatory. RFI Deliverables All respondents are requested to provide detailed information on available systems, to include a detailed response to the TDB IDNS requirements matrix. Respondents should state which requirements are met and which are not, technical and physical specifications of the proposed system, images of the proposed system, maturity of the technology, impact to existing infrastructure, details of current installations, and a cost rough order of scalable magnitude for a system. At this time, there is no requirement for a facility security clearance or for cleared staff under the National Industrial Security Program. However, if a respondent participates in the National Industrial Security Program and has facility and personnel clearances, that information should be provided in the response. The company must have a robust technical support group to provide user, installation, and repair documentation; technical and software updates/revisions; and training as may be needed by the U.S. Government.
