Performance Work Statement

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS SUPPORT INITIATIVE

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PROGRAM IN SUPPORT OF

SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT SPECTATOR SAFETY AND SECURITY

I. PURPOSE

The mission of the DoD Domestic Preparedness Support Initiative (DPSI) program is to coordinate all Departmental efforts to identify, evaluate, deploy, and transfer to Federal, State, and local first responders technology items, equipment, and services in support of homeland security. In fulfilling its mission, DPSI is charged to:

• Identify technology items, equipment, and services developed or being developed by DoD components that have the potential to enhance public safety and improve homeland security.

• Cooperate with appropriate Federal Government officials outside the DoD and first responder organizations and associations to evaluate whether such technology items, equipment, and services would be useful to first responders.

• Facilitate the timely transfer, through identification of appropriate private sector manufacturers, of appropriate technology items, equipment, and services to Federal, State, and local first responders, in coordination with appropriate Federal Government officials and first responder organizations and associations outside the DoD.

• Expedite the advancement of high priority DoD projects from research through implementation to be deployed to first responders.

In this effort, DPSI is specifically looking for DoD technology items, equipment, and services that can be used to assist first responders in enhancing the safety and security of spectators attending sporting and entertainment events. Any such event where spectators, fans, and citizens gather presents a target for acts of terror. Recent incidents such as the Route 91 Harvest Festival mass shooting in Las Vegas, and the concert bombing in Manchester, England, continue to highlight the risk and make it clear that no venue is immune to attacks.

II. SCOPE AND MISSION

The purpose of this contract is to procure the services of a non-governmental entity and for such entity to assist DPSI in carrying out the duties enumerated above with the goal of enhancing the safety and security of the American public when attending sports and entertainment events. The scope of the effort to enhance sports and entertainment spectator safety and security is as follows:

• All sporting venues from inter-scholastic, through inter-collegiate, to professional stadiums and arenas.

• All entertainment venues from theaters and auditoriums to large stadiums and arenas.

III. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

Performance will be primarily accomplished at the contractor’s facilities. However, the contractor should be prepared to provide at least one individual to work full-time in the DPSI offices (government facility) located at 4800 Mark Center Drive in Alexandria, Virginia. Other contractor individuals should be prepared and available to visit the DPSI offices and the Pentagon, as required by the Government, to provide periodic briefings of deliverables as stated in the Performance Objective.

IV. BACKGROUND

The Under Secretary of Defense for Policy (USD(P)) is the principal staff assistant to the Secretary of Defense for all matters on the formulation of national security and defense policy, and the integration and oversight of DoD policy and plans to achieve national security objectives. Specifically, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Global Security (ASD(HD&GS)), working under the authority, direction, and control of the USD(P), serves as the senior Defense official to coordinate all DoD efforts to identify, evaluate, deploy, and transfer to Federal, State, and local first responders technology items, equipment, and services in support of homeland security and antiterrorism efforts.

V. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

a. Throughout the performance of this effort, achieve improved performance, reliability, security, and reduced cost of the delivered service by planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling resources and procedures to achieve the specific goals.

VI. PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE

The contractor shall apply all methods available in order to find and identify capability gaps in the first responder community (law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, and HAZMAT) in the area of providing for the safety and security of the American public when attending sporting and entertainment events. Once such capability gaps are uncovered, the contractor will work with DoD DPSI to identify, evaluate, and transfer when possible, commercialize when not, technology items, equipment, and services to first responders in order to fill the gaps and to enhance public safety and homeland security at sports and entertainment venues across the country.

a. The contractor will work, nation-wide, with personnel at the following entities charged with providing safety and security for patrons and staff in order to identify capability gaps in providing such safety and security at sports and entertainment venues at all levels.

b. Once capability gaps in providing for the safety and security of sports and entertainment patrons and staff are identified, the contractor will work with DPSI to search the DoD Technology/Research and Development Community to find technology items and equipment developed or being developed by DoD components that have the potential to fill such capability gaps.

c. Once appropriate technology items and equipment are identified, the contractor will conduct necessary product testing to ensure the items will be useful and effective for first responders and others charged with providing safety and security for sports and entertainment patrons and staff.

d. The contractor will assist potential vendors in final commercialization of products and services in order to expedite deployment of the products and services to first responders and others charged with providing safety and security for sports and entertainment patrons and staff.
