This federal solicitation seeks proposals for a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) Project to address challenges in sharing 911 call data between disparate CAD systems and with the National Public Safety Broadband Network. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is responsible for coordinating emergency communication systems and administering 911 grants. As Next Generation 911 transitions PSAPs to a digital, interconnected model, the current decentralized state of 50-200 CAD vendors creates difficulties transferring calls and data within 911 systems and to emergency responders. Proposals should explain how they will enable data sharing within 911 and with the FirstNet network, and address whether CAD system uniformity or interoperability solutions best achieve this goal.
