STATEMENT OF WORK
1. SCOPE
Based on operational needs, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has an immediate requirement to inspect vehicles and cargo for illegal contraband including narcotics and terrorist weapons. Because of the high volume of commercial vehicles flowing through the Ports of Entry (POE), a system that allows commercial vehicles to be driven through the Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) X-ray system by the vehicle’s driver would provide a more efficient means to conduct NII scanning operations. This Statement of Work (SOW) details the minimum requirements for an integrated Multi-Energy Portal (MEP) system including operations booth, or facility and equipment for an on-site control center to perform NII image adjudication and to control MEP operation. These systems will be deployed with required operator booths, separate shelters for officers and vehicle passengers, and other ancillary equipment in addition to the MEP system itself (e.g. bollards, signage, surveillance cameras, license plate readers, RFID, QR code reader, etc.). In the future, these systems will likely be integrated with Radiation Detection Equipment (RDE).
The system shall be offered as a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) system, however the Government may require modifications to the COTS design to facilitate and support its inspection Concepts of Operation (CONOP), integration with other ancillary NII and CBP IT systems and other emerging requirements such as Assisted/Automated Threat Recognition (ATR) algorithm implementation. The system must be safe and create exposure rates as low as possible as promulgated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in 10 C.F.R Part 20, setting the maximum permissible level of radiation dose to the general public at 0.1 Rem (100,000 µR (microrem)) per-year. CBP is seeking a system that shall scan the vehicle cabin at a driver-safe low energy/flux level, that creates and scans at a higher energy flux level for greater penetration and detailed images of the cargo area, and which allows operators to quickly identify contraband such as drugs, bulk currency, explosives, and weapons hidden in both the cabin and cargo areas of the conveyance.
This SOW will meet current operational requirements under the current NII Systems Program and it will include the scope necessary to meet future requirements under the NII Integration Program (IP). The NII IP will be implemented starting in the FY22 timeframe. The NII-IP requirements will include fully integrated NII imaging systems employed in a new CONOPS such as pre-primary scanning. NII-IP involves two layers of integration. The first is the POE site level integration of MEP with ancillary systems including but not limited to traffic control, RPM, and control centers. The second is the broader integration of deployed NII imaging systems with existing CBP IT enterprise infrastructure and law enforcement applications.
The resulting MEP production acquisition contract(s) will therefore support both near term acquisition of MEPs for traditional secondary style NII deployments under current NII program authorities as well as future MEP acquisitions for fully integrated, pre-primary-deployed systems under the future NII-IP starting in FY22.
The contractor shall be prepared to support the broader integration of the MEP system with the CBP IT enterprise infrastructure including network, backend data center, other deployed CBP program technologies and various law enforcement applications and databases. This end-to-end integration will be pursued in coordination and collaboration with CBP OIT and other CBP technology programs via subsequent task orders, as NII program authorities are established to do so.
1.1. Period of Performance
The anticipated base period of performance is twelve (12) months from date of award with four (4) option years.
1.2. Program Organization
This procurement is under the technical direction of the NII Acquisition Program Management Office (PMO) within the CBP Office of Field Operations (OFO) Cargo and Container Security (CCS). The maintenance, repair, and logistic support will be managed by the CBP Enterprise Networks and Technology Support Directorate (ENTSD), Integrated Logistics Division (ILD) with support from Data Analysis Center
– Threat Evaluation and Reduction (DACTER), a branch within the NII Division. NII Division Large Scale NII Branch represents the business owner and provides functional requirements. Future integrated system development will involve coordination with multiple directorates within CBP OIT.
1.2.1. Government Management Organization
CBP management of this procurement will be accomplished through the CBP NII PMO for system acquisition, delivery, and acceptance. ILD will manage the system(s) during the warranty period and beyond to include any corrective maintenance actions, preventive maintenance activities and if needed, on-demand services. CBP OTD and OFO/CCS/NII Division Training & Logistics Support Branch (TLSB) will approve training development and coordinate operator training presentations. CBP Human Resources Management (HRM) Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) will approve radiation safety. DACTER will support end to end system integration, plus development / deployment of ATR and of other value-added services in coordination with CBP OIT Directorates.
1.2.2. Contractor Management Organization
For each awarded task order, the Contractor shall provide a Project Plan for CBP review. This plan shall include the management organization, points of contact and description / scheduling for completion of all tasks required to fabricate, integrate, ship, test, install, train and maintain the MEP systems. This shall include site survey, the development of site installation drawings, site preparation / construction, MEP system installation and acceptance test. The Project Plan shall be prepared in accordance with Data Item Description (DID) A001. This plan shall also include the submittals for Data Item Description (DID) A003, A004; these reference the meetings and minutes.
1.3. Purpose
The purpose of these Systems is to enable CBP to perform effective and efficient Non-Intrusive Inspection of conveyances, including occupied commercial vehicles, for contraband such as illicit drugs, terrorist weapons, and currency. These systems will be used for inspection of larger vehicles like buses, recreational vehicles, and truck tractors with laden semitrailers and trailers. Each system shall be capable of providing an NII image with the quality and characteristics identified within the performance requirements in Appendix A of this SOW to aid CBP personnel in identifying anomalies (potential contraband) within the conveyance.
1.4. Background
As part of the CBP layered enforcement strategy, cargo vehicles and containers are examined by CBP officers via Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) systems for contraband, illegal narcotics, weapons of mass destruction, and instruments of terror. CBP will deploy MEP systems at land POEs to inspect vehicles in secondary and prior to arrival at a primary inspection booth in an effort to improve CBP’s inspection and interdiction capability while increasing inspection capacity.
MEPs can also be deployed to seaport POE’s for targeted inspections. CBP’s long-term goal is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of NII operations by expanding the use of automated tools and processes, and integrating multiple sensors, technologies, and data platforms. CBP’s MEP system use cases are included in the system’s Functional Requirement Document (FRD) as Appendix A to this SOW.
1.5. NII and NII-IP Program Objectives
a. Deploy MEP systems at land border POE, USBP Checkpoints and seaports based on individual site requirements beginning with traditional secondary stand-alone deployments.
b. Sustain MEP system operations for at least ten (10) years after deployment.
c. Develop separate training course materials and provide training services for CBP training personnel, and analysts.
d. Provide a flexible and scalable MEP system solution with modular, independent components and the ability to support multiple operating / deployment configurations (e.g., multiple analysts, control centers, and combined and distributed functions and operations). CBP anticipates that initial MEP deployments shall be made to land POE secondary, however the contract shall also allow for future land pre-primary and seaport deployment of MEP systems.
e. Enable pre-planned and ad hoc product improvement by deploying CBP OIT-compliant hardware, operating systems, and data formats (e.g., NIEM N.25, Unified File Format) that will allow for:
(1) Future integration and interoperability with the CBP data network, back-end data center, law enforcement databases / applications and other CBP Program technologies such as Land Border Integration, Border Security Deployment and Biometric Entry-Exit Programs;
(2) Future remote system health monitoring, performance/use monitoring, maintenance diagnostics, troubleshooting, configuration management, and IT application / operating system / security updates;
(3) Continuous evolution of hardware (e.g., components, sensors, and IT equipment);
(4) Continuous evolution of software (e.g., operating systems, graphical user interfaces (GUI), algorithms) to easily adopt new and emerging technologies and capabilities.
(5) Continuous evolution to comply with cybersecurity mandates including periodic technology refresh of MEP computer systems
Long term objectives include:
(1) Using remote NII control center operations to improve efficiencies and the effectiveness of the examination of cargo and conveyances entering the U.S.,
(2) Using remote operational technologies to eliminate the CBP officer manning requirement for primary entry inspection booths,
(3) Develop, validate, and implement ATR algorithm analysis capabilities to expand the scanning capabilities and leverage officer resources across a significantly larger volume of cross-border traffic,
(4) Improve operational functionality and efficiencies, increase information sharing, and decrease system life cycle support costs,
(5) Develop an integrated Information Technology (IT) framework for collecting, and analyzing multiple NII and law enforcement data sources,
(6) Develop a remote NII system health monitoring capability to support remote system maintenance actions and troubleshooting,
(7) Leverage developed capabilities for the more effective use of CBP officer resources,
(8) Increase the probability of detection of contraband by using and/or integrating different technologies to their maximum benefit.
(9) Potentially acquire technical data rights so that the Government can maintain and modify the procured systems using Government personnel and third party contractors as desired.
1.6. Operational Objectives for MEP systems
The CBP MEP CONOPS demands unique capabilities for NII systems - please see FRD. The MEP System shall integrate traffic control, x-ray, UVIS, LPR, RFID, QR, HMI, RPM and data store capabilities.
