STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

FOR THE

MARINE DIGITAL VIDEO/AUDIO RECORDER

1. SCOPE:

This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the requirements for marine Digital Video/Audio Recorder (DVR) for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Air and Marine Operations (AMO) vessels. The objective of this procurement is to procure commercially available equipment detailed in this SOW to support AMO law enforcement operations.

1.1. BACKGROUND:

Under the authority of Title I, Sec. 101 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 as amended, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was established to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States. DHS’s purpose is to reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism, and to minimize the damage and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks that do occur within the United States. Maritime vessels equipped with state-of-the-art multi-mode sensors are an effective means of detecting, sorting and tracking border incursions.

1.2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS:
