Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

Federal Protective Service (FPS) Statement of Work (SOW)

1.0 STATEMENT OF WORK

1.1 Background

The Federal Protective Service (FPS) uses its security expertise and law enforcement authority to protect federal government facilities and safeguard the millions of employees and visitors who pass through them every day. With a presence in every state and territory, the FPS mission is to prevent, protect, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism and other hazards threatening the federal government’s essential services, ensuring the continuity of the U.S.

Government.

The FPS Canine Operations Branch's Explosives Detection Canine Program supports the mission of FPS through utilization of law enforcement canine teams that travel to Federal facilities and aid in security efforts. The Canine Operations Branch provides Explosives Detection Canine Teams (EDCT) which render federal properties safe and secure for federal employees, officials, and visitors by providing a strong visible and psychological deterrence against criminal and terrorist acts. The EDCTs conduct searches and sweeps for explosive components and respond to threats to federally owned, leased, or secured property.

1.2 Scope

The objective of this contract is to provide the FPS with high-fidelity, standardized Canine Explosive Scent Kits (CESKs). These CESK are critical for the initial imprint, training, maintenance, and operational certification of EDCTs. The scope encompasses the manufacture, specialized packaging, and multi-year delivery of regional, and headquarter CESKs, including, specific “extinction” training aids to ensure canine accuracy.

FPS intends to acquire multiple CESKs for the FPS Explosives Detection Canine Program through a Purchase Order.

1.3 Specific Requirements:

1.3.1 CESK Requirements

Each CESK and its individual component CETA shall be made, handled, packaged, stored, and transported in a manner to protect against spillage, cross contamination, degradation, and safe handling.

The Government reserves the right to have each CETA tested for purity. The CESKs shall contain pure explosives and chemical precursors used in the making of explosives.

The CESKs shall not contain pseudo-explosives, non-detonable training aids, or inert products.

1.3.2 Specific Canine Explosive Training Aid Types

1.4 Packaging of Canine Explosive Training Aids

1.4.1 Each CETA item shall be packaged in an unprinted, medical-grade, breathable

Tyvek (Type 1059B or 1073B) pouch and one side made of .003” Precision Clean high-density film. An ionizing bar shall be used to reduce static and allow substance to drop more freely inside the bag when filling. An A-B-C sealer machine or similar device will be used to ensure seals are straight and tight.

1.4.2 Each breather bag will have a double heat seal to provide extra security and help prevent blow outs or spillage during transportation and training use.

1.4.3 The contractor shall ensure the heat sealer is set to the correct temperature to ensure a “fusion seal” rather than a “tack seal.”

1.4.4 The secondary shielding bag/pouch must provide a minimum thickness of

0.004 inches and function to prevent electrostatic discharge and vapor barrier to contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This secondary pouch shall be vacuum-sealed within a MIL-PRF-8170E Type I Opaque Metallic Shielding Bag.

1.4.5 To ensure scent purity, the exterior of the secondary bag must be decontaminated with an alcohol-based solvent after sealing to remove transfer odors.

1.4.6 Each bag/pouch shall be labeled with the explosive component contained inside, product manufacturer, UN classification, Batch/Lot Number, Net Explosive Mass (N.E.M), the Ex-Number (Explosives Approval Number), and a Serialized Number. Labels must include the warning: EXPLOSIVES - DANGEROUS Handle Carefully for high and low explosives, or FLAMMABLE SOLID – DANGEROUS Handle Carefully for oxidizers. If found, contact the Federal Protective Service 1-800-437-7411 shall be on each bag/pouch containing the material.
