1.0 Purpose and Intent

This Statement of Objectives (SOO) is for the procurement of mobile surveillance capabilities (MSC) to detect, identify, and track Items of Interest (IOI) along the U.S.

Border until successfully adjudicated in a law enforcement conclusion. This SOO also identifies CBP’s top-level objectives for the FY2010 Mobile Surveillance Capability (MSC) Procurement. As a minimum, this SOO will address performance, supportability, training, maintenance, test, and acceptance objectives.

The intent of this SOO is to support the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) objective to potentially make multiple awards to one or more vendors whose solution(s) provides best value to the Government.

2.0 Scope

The scope of this SOO is as follows.

2.1 General Scope of Work

The scope of this SOO includes all necessary work for MSC fabrication, test and evaluation, training and maintenance, system delivery to the end-users, and full Government acceptance of MSC products and services. Vendors should use this SOO to develop their performance work statement(s) (PWS) to be submitted as part of their proposal.

2.2 Resources

If the vendor requires a vehicle to carry or pull their solution, the Government will provide trucks as Government furnished equipment (GFE). The Government will also provide one (1) Motorola land mobile radio (LMR) per system that the vendor must integrate into each MSC.

2.3 Customer

The customer for the contract shall be the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

3.0 Period and Place of Performance

3.1 Period of Performance

As specified in Request for Proposal (RFP) Section F.

3.2 Place of Performance

As specified in Request for Proposal (RFP) Section F.

4.0 Background

To resolve operational issues associated with gaps in remote area coverage, CBP initiated a mobile surveillance prototype concept approximately three (3) years ago. The prototype concept took place over a period of eighteen months and during that time four

(4) prototype systems were developed and tested. The prototype effort culminated in CBP’s issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP) that resulted in a contract award for the production of thirty (30) mobile surveillance systems (MSS). About one year later, the contract was modified to purchase four (4) additional MSS units. With the exception of two (2) test and evaluation units, all of the systems have been placed in operation on the southern and northern U.S borders.

On July 2, 2009, CBP issued a Request for Information (RFI) to determine if sufficient mobile surveillance capabilities were commercially available to address CBP’s needs.

CBP received a number of vendor responses and after review and analysis of the responses, CBP concluded there were enough commercially available sources to support a procurement based on full and open competition and a firm fixed price contracting strategy.

5.0 Performance Objectives

5.1 MSC System Performance

5.2.5 Warranty and Maintenance

5.2.5.1 Warranty and Maintenance Assumptions and Definitions

Definition: Mean Time to Repair (MTTR):

1. The average time consumed performing Level 1, 2, and 3 repair and maintenance over an interval of time specified as a calendar month.

2. For Level 2 and 3 repair and maintenance, Start Time is when unit arrives at the Level 2 maintenance location and is made available to Supplier and Supplier notified, whether or not Supplier personnel are present.

3. For Level 2 and 3 repair and maintenance, End Time is when Supplier notifies CBP and releases the fully repaired and tested unit to CBP at the Level 2 maintenance location, whether or not CBP personnel are present.

4. Note: Based on these definitions, Level 3 maintenance time does intentionally include transportation time from the Level 2 maintenance location to the Level 3 maintenance location, as well as return transportation time back to the Level 2 maintenance location, as well as any wait times involved in transportation.

Definition: Maximum Time to Repair (MaxTTR):

1. The maximum time consumed performing Level 1, 2, and 3 repair and maintenance over an interval of time specified as a calendar month.

2. Start and End Times have the same definition as MTTR.

Definition: Level 1 (Operator) Maintenance is routine maintenance at a novice skill level performed by CBP personnel or support contractors including routine oil and filter changes (on a generator, for example). Specific Level 1 Maintenance Tasks and schedules are to be defined by the Supplier in the ILSP document.

Definition: Level 2 (Organizational) Maintenance is non-routine maintenance and also any routine maintenance requiring special skills above the novice level. Specific Level 2 Maintenance Tasks and schedules are to be defined by the Supplier in the ILSP document.

Definition: Level 3 (Depot) Maintenance is non-routine maintenance performed at the Supplier’s facilities (perhaps at the factory). Specific Level 3 Maintenance Tasks and schedules are to be defined by the Supplier in the ILSP document. CBP expects most maintenance to be performed at Level 1 or Level 2. CBP anticipates that Level 3 maintenance will be extremely rare.

Level 1 Maintenance Locations and Facilities: Level 1 maintenance will be performed by CBP personnel or support contractors in the field at the surveillance site. The locations will typically be remote, unimproved, and far from paved roads. No facilities such as electrical power or water will be provided at the Level 1 site. Any special tools required for Level 1 maintenance shall be supplied with and attached to the MSC system (via robust enclosures or restraints) so that the tools are readily available.

Level 2 Maintenance Locations and Facilities: Level 2 maintenance will be performed at a Border Patrol Station or at a Border Patrol Sector Headquarters. Facilities may be limited to an unpaved parking lot, without access to electrical power or water. The maintainer must supply onsite all necessary labor, instrumentation, spare parts, consumable items, expendable items, lifts, jacks, winches, electricity, and water. For the purposes of estimating, the following locations are provided.

1. Customs and Border Protection, Del Rio Sector Headquarters, 2401 Dodson Avenue, Del Rio, Texas 78840

The vendor must support the Government’s plans for conduct and execution of the following tests:

5.3.2.1 In-factory Quality Testing

In support of the Government’s quality efforts, the vendor shall allow the Government inspection access to the product, at the factory, before it is delivered (shipped) to the Government. Government in-factory quality testing shall be random (random selection of at least 20% of all MSC produced under the accompanying PWS); however, the vendor is expected to quality test 100% of MSC before shipment to the Government.

The vendor shall conduct an in-house quality testing of MSC using a vendor provided Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) before the system is shipped to the field. The vendor shall provide the ATP to the Government as a work product. Delivery of the ATP shall be in accordance with the performance work statement.

5.3.2.2 MSC First Article Test (FAT) (CDRL 0008)

The vendor shall produce two (2) initial articles for FAT. In support of FAT, the vendor shall prepare FAT Plan and Procedures for review and approval by the Government. The vendor will train two (2) MSC operators per first article delivered to the Government (4 operators total). The test shall be executed by the Government and be supported by the vendor. The test will take place in field locations as follows:

1. Tucson Sector Area of Responsibility (AOR) – 1 MSC

2. Yuma Sector AOR – 1 MSC

Upon completion of FAT, the Government shall prepare a FAT Report, with vendor support as required.

5.3.2.3 MSC Unit Acceptance Test (CDRL 0009)

Subsequent MSC Units (i.e., after the first two per 5.3.2.2) will be subjected to an MSC Acceptance Test consisting of (1) system check-out, and (2) in-field performance testing, as follows. The vendor shall support the Government’s MSC Unit Acceptance Test efforts as needed.

After the MSC Unit reaches the deployment site (Border Patrol Station or Sector Headquarters), the Government shall conduct system check-out to ensure the MSC Unit is free of readily apparent defects.

After the MSC Unit successfully completes system check-out, the Government will then conduct in-field performance testing under field conditions. In support of in-field performance testing, the vendor shall prepare an In-field Performance Test Plan and Procedures for review and approval by the Government. The purpose of in-field performance testing is to ensure the production articles work as advertised in the operational environment of intended use.

Upon completion of UAT, the Government shall prepare a UAT Report, with vendor support as required.

5.3.3 Product Acceptance Criteria

The first two MSC Units will be accepted by the Government upon successful completion of First Article Test in accordance with (IAW) SOO 5.3.2.2.

Subsequent MSC Units (i.e., after the first two) will be accepted by the Government upon successful completion of MSC Unit Acceptance Test IAW SOO 5.3.2.3.

(2) While not required, the Contractor may flow down to subcontracts for commercial items a minimal number of additional clauses necessary to satisfy its contractual obligations.

I.3 52.204-7 CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION (APR 2008)

"Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database" means the primary Government repository for Contractor information required for the conduct of business with the Government.

"Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number" means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.

"Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number" means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern.

(D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional CCR records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at Subpart 32.11) for the same concern.

"Registered in the CCR database" means that--

(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, into the CCR database; and

(2) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and has marked the record "Active". The Contractor will be required to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as a part of the CCR registration process.

(b)(1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

(2) The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation "DUNS" or "DUNS +4" followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror's name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the CCR database.

(c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.

(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number--

(i) Via the Internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or if the offeror does not have internet access, it may call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 if located within the United States; or

(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office. The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a U.S. Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(2) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:

(i) Company legal business.

(ii) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.

(iii) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and Zip Code.

(iv) Company Mailing Address, City, State and Zip Code (if separate from physical).

(v) Company Telephone Number.

(vi) Date the company was started.

(vii) Number of employees at your location.

(viii) Chief executive officer/key manager.

(ix) Line of business (industry).

(x) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity).

(d) If the Offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror.

(e) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation.

(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the CCR database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(g) (1) (i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, "doing business as" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12 of the FAR;

and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of Payment" paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the CCR database. Information provided to the Contractor's CCR record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of payment" paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(h) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.ccr.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423, or 269- 961-5757.

(b) Within 60 calendar days after the Government receives the first article, the Contracting

Officer shall notify the Contractor, in writing, of the conditional approval, approval, or disapproval of the first article. The notice of conditional approval or approval shall not relieve the Contractor from complying with all requirements of the specifications and all other terms and conditions of this contract. A notice of conditional approval shall state any further action required of the Contractor. A notice of disapproval shall cite reasons for the disapproval.

(c) If the first article is disapproved, the Contractor, upon Government request, shall submit an additional first article for testing. After each request, the Contractor shall make any necessary changes, modifications, or repairs to the first article or select another first article for testing.
