1.0 Background

This SOW describes the requirements for a follow-on contract to procure radar sensor feeds in the Great Lakes region. This procurement continues to be one of the critical elements of a broader United States Border Patrol (USBP) strategy to rapidly acquire fully functional (and ideally commercially available) systems to enhance border enforcement efforts. Technology is combined with other Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) resources and capabilities; notably personnel, infrastructure, and intelligence; to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of our border enforcement efforts.

The Federal Aviation Administration Logistics Center (FAALC) has been designated by CBP to act as the Primary Inventory Control Authority (PICA), assisting with the procurement of components and services necessary for the long-term sustainment of select systems associated with the Maritime Detection Program.

The PICA is responsible for ensuring complete execution of the work described in this SOW, in cooperation with other Government entities as required as well as the CBP MDP Program Management Office.

Purpose The purpose of this SOW is to detail the requirements for establishment of a contract to procure radar sensor feed services. There will be varying yearly quantities of both standard and advanced capability (Terma 5200) radar feeds. The per year requirements will be based on funding availability and deployment schedules. The radar sensor feeds, the information, and the support are needed so they can be integrated with the MDP command and control (C2) system. The FAA is seeking commercially available sensor feeds that provide marine surface radar coverage in any U.S. border or coastal areas.

Scope of Work

3.1 Sensor Feed Requirements

3.1.1 Sensor feeds to be acquired must provide long range persistent surveillance to enable the detection, tracking, identification, and classification of Items of Interest (IoI) in key maritime areas along our Nation's borders. Individual sensor feeds must be a stand-alone capability within an Area of Responsibility (AoR). There is no initial effort intended to integrate or network any of the individual sensor data across AoRs. A scalable, non-proprietary system with an open architecture and the ability to add enhancements and integration is preferred.

3.1.2 Sensor feeds to be acquired must be able to provide marine surface radar coverage of IoIs.

Items of interest include but are not limited to small (16' to 20') boats, larger vessels, and personal watercraft.

3.1.3 Sensor feeds to be acquired must be capable of being integrated into the DHS/CBP owned common operating picture system, JPSC2, currently used to display and monitor radar traffic.

It is anticipated that when the Sensor Feed(s) has(have) been integrated into JPSC2, that operators will be able to continuously monitor an Area of Coverage (AoC), defined as the extent that the radar antenna can detect, within an Area of Interest (AoI), to enable the detection and tracking, identification, and classification of IoIs.

3.1.4 Sensor feeds to be acquired must meet the following requirements:

Provide radar data for one or more of the following:

o Sarnia, Ontario – South Lake Huron o St. Clair River Radar

02/11/2022 For Official Use Only Page 2 o St. Clair Shores, MI, Lake St. Clair o Windsor, Ontario, South Lake St. Clair o Detroit, MI, Detroit River o Buffalo, NY, East Lake Erie o Virgil, Ontario, Lake Ontario o Toronto Island West, Lake Ontario o Toronto Island East, Toronto Harbor o Venise-en-Québec, Quebec, Lake Champlain o Scarborough, New York o Other maritime areas along the U.S. border or U.S. coastal areas

Radar that is source of the sensor feed must be able to detect items of interest as small as personal watercraft that enter the AoC

Radar that is source of the sensor feed must be able to track detected items of interest as they move within the AoC

Sensor feeds must be available 24x7, with a maximum downtime of 72 hours per month (Threshold), 36 hours per month (Objective)

Sensor feeds must be available to Government in multiple locations (at least two) at any given time (e.g., while feed is being accessed at its primary location, it must also be accessible from a secondary location, such as the CBP testbed).

Sensor feeds that have overlapping coverage must have an option for a fused output. Where two or more radars will be transmitted to the government as a single feed. This will only apply to sensor feeds that the government decides to lease. The government also may not utilize this option and have the sensor feeds transmitted individually.

3.1.5 Terma sensor feeds that may be acquired must also meet the same requirements listed above.

If any site listed in section 3.1.4 is destroyed or upgraded to the Terma model, the new rate for service will follow agreed contractual rate. The contractor shall provide the Government with a minimum of 48 hours advance notice before conducting any maintenance which would interrupt service. The Government may reserve the right to delay scheduled maintenance based on operational needs.

3.1.6 The contractor shall provide an Interface Control Document (ICD) describing the transmission protocol, content, and format of the sensor feeds.

3.1.7 The contractor shall provide a point of contact (e-mail and telephone) to provide technical support and answer questions about their system.

3.1.8 The contractor shall ensure data feeds conform to all required and/or applicable DHS/CBP computer security protocols and regulations.

3.1.9 The Government reserves the right to select any combination of individual site feeds and how many sensor feeds is required per year. (Minimum is one (1) and Maximum is nine (9) sensor feeds.)

3.1.10 The contractor shall provide a monthly status report to provide updates on the status of the radar sensor feed. The monthly report shall be sent to the Contracting Officer (CO) and the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) no later than the 5th business day of each month.

3.1.11 The Contractor shall prepare for and attend a Kick-Off (KO) Meeting within fifteen (15) working days after contract award or at a time deemed necessary by the Government. The purpose of the meeting will be to identify points of contact, and to discuss and clarify the scope of work and objectives of the project. Within five (5) days after the kick-off meeting, the Contractor shall prepare and submit the minutes of the meeting to document the Contractor's understanding of the project to FAA.

3.2 Engineer Studies, Analysis, and Training

The COR and system engineer will identify engineering issues and will coordinate with the CO to resolve issues with radar feeds or other related software/hardware components. Upon direction from the CO or authorized representative, the contractor will assess and provide recommended solutions to resolve these issues. The contractor will provide their recommendation within 14 calendar days after authorization to proceed.

Types of work to be performed may include, but are not limited to:

Attending meetings as requested by the FAALC

Extended testing

Operational field assessment coordinated with FAALC

Operational upgrade design coordinated and approved by FAALC

The Contractor may be required to travel to a field site to perform the study/evaluation. The Contractor shall be on-site within five (5) business days of task order. This timeframe does not apply if additional visits are requested during an existing visit. Site visits scheduled at the same time as other site visits shall be coordinated between the Contractor and the FAA CO or FAALC COR.

If required, the length of each site visit will depend on the nature of the work.

The Contractor shall provide various other design, management, coordination, and training efforts needed to plan, accomplish, and monitor tasks (as specified in individual Task Orders).

Any travel shall be in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR).

3.3 Travel

The Contractor shall perform duties on travel when required and authorized by the FAA CO.

Government reimbursement for claimed travel costs, including per diem, shall be made In Accordance With (IAW) the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR), issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) found at: https://www.gsa.gov/travel and the contract travel clause. The Contractor will comply with the current laws, regulations, policies, and directives of DHS while on a Border Patrol site.

Schedule of Deliverables All deliverables shall be provided in the contractor’s standard format through email or secure file transfer as applicable. Alternative document formats may be utilized if agreed upon by the contractor and the Government’s Contract Officer and/or Contract Officer Representative.
