The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate has awarded a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to the University of Illinois to provide research and scientific services. Under this BOA, the University of Illinois has received several delivery order contracts to support DHS programs.
Specifically, the University of Illinois has been awarded delivery orders to conduct research related to resilient timing requirements for 5G networks, interoperability testing for Next Generation 9-1-1 systems, and initiatives under the Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute (CIRI) - a DHS Center of Excellence led by the University. The delivery orders are firm fixed price and cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, ranging in value from $200,000 to $3.15 million, with periods of performance from 1-5 years. The work is primarily performed at the University's campus in Champaign, Illinois, and aims to advance DHS's efforts to enhance the resilience of national critical infrastructure against evolving threats. No set-aside designations were used for these awards to the University of Illinois, a public land-grant research institution with extensive experience supporting U.S. government agencies through federal contracts and grants.
