Statement of Work (SOW) Ballistic Armored Response Vehicle

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Statement of Requirements defines the requirements of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Field Operations (OFO) in acquiring a Ballistic Armored Response Vehicle with off road capabilities for use by Special Operations Division (SOD), Special Response Team (SRT). SRT is under the command of the Special Operations Division (SOD).

2.0 BACKGROUND

SRT conducts a variety of high-risk operations in high threat environments against armed individuals and/or groups using high caliber weapons and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). As treat levels increase, instability between cartels (control of leadership, control of territory and rising uncontrolled violence against law enforcement), and with the potential of terrorist attacks, it is the intent of SOD to acquire an armored vehicle capable of withstanding multiple impacts of high caliber weapons, grenades, IEDs, and roadside bombs.

With the diverse terrain encountered by SRT throughout the border regions, many operations take place in rural areas with inadequate cover and where terrain may be difficult due to unimproved roads. This places SRT operators in dangerous situations when confronted with a lethal threat.

SRT also responds to active threats and serves high risk warrants in urban areas that demands protection for its personnel during infiltration, extraction, and potential rescue & recovery operations, for both law enforcement and the public.

For these operations, SRT requires a vehicle that can operate both on and off road, is able to carry at least ten (10) fully equipped operators and provide a high level of ballistic protection.

3.0 SCOPE OF WORK

It is the intent of CBP/SOD to procure additional generic Ballistic Armored Response Vehicles (BARVs) units with off- road capabilities for use by SRT Operators in High Risk/High Threat operations with a ballistic protection of B7/NIJ Level IV capable of stopping .50 Ball Ammunition.

In addition, this scope includes full replacement and/or repair warranty where applicable and the customer support necessary.
