Flexible Agile Support for the Homeland (FLASH)

Video Submission for Government Feedback

Purpose – In order to assist vendors in their decision-making, the government will provide feedback to vendors interested in becoming a possible prime contractor on Flexible Agile Support for the Homeland (FLASH) contract vehicle. Participation in this government video submission feedback process is optional and does not limit a vendor’s eligibility to respond to any upcoming solicitations.

Video Submission – In order to receive government feedback, the contractor for those who intend to serve as a possible prime shall submit a low-cost video. At a minimum, the following three (3) questions shall be addressed in the video submission:

1. How did your company implement Agile practices on a project?

2. How did your company engage with end-users and clients on a project?

3. How did your company handle changes that happened during a project?

All videos must be under three (3) minutes in length in order to receive government feedback. It is recommended that each video features Agile project team members, especially those who could potentially provide support on any possible DHS Agile Design & Development support contract vehicles.

Government Feedback – The government’s feedback will advise a vendor on their viability as a prime contractor for the FLASH contract vehicle through issuance of a letter anticipated about July 8, 2016.

The government will not be providing a detailed debrief as a part of the feedback process.

NOTE: The quality of the video submissions will not factor into the government’s feedback. The government encourages low-cost video production, such as the cell phone video cameras.

Submission Instructions – Video submissions must be posted to Youtube.com for the government to access. Videos may be marked public or private. By 3:00 PM ET on July 1, 2016, the vendor must send a Youtube link and password to Agile@hq.dhs.gov in order for DHS to access the video submission. DHS will not provide access to the vendor’s video outside of the DHS Agile contract team without the permission of the vendor. Do not provide a shortened URL, such as youtu.be.
