Jackson State University was awarded a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement by the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate in August 2021. The agreement supports research across six thrust areas including border security, chemical biological radiological and explosive defense, cyber security, first responders, and disaster resilience. There is no set end date for placing orders under the agreement, which has a potential value of $0.
As a minority institution, historically black college and university, and state-controlled institution of higher learning, Jackson State University will provide research and development services to address requirements in key homeland security domains. The university has expertise in areas such as hydraulics, dredging, coastal engineering, and computer science developed through previous contracts with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Navy. Orders are anticipated to be placed against the agreement to support the Science and Technology Directorate's testing and evaluation, standards development, and technology transition needs.
