BACKGROUND

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Air and Marine Operations (AMO) safeguard the nation by leveraging aviation and maritime law enforcement expertise, innovative capabilities, and strategic partnerships to anticipate and confront security threats at and beyond the border. AMO's mission, aligned with DHS strategic goals and AMO's Vision and Strategy 2030, involves round-the-clock monitoring of air, maritime, and land borders; defending against terrorist threats;

detecting and deterring illicit trafficking of persons, drugs, weapons, money, and other goods; and disrupting criminal networks. Contractors are integral to AMO operations, providing essential support to government employees across various positions within AMO Headquarters (HQ) and field sites, managed by the AMO Program Management Office (PMO).

AMO’s Resilience Engagement Division (RED) is performing market research to determine available sources for supporting its Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT). AMO requires contractor support in the form of a dedicated Psychologist who can train and equip active and new

CIRT members with the necessary skills to administer psychological first aid during the aftermath of high-stress or critical incidents in the field. Additionally, the contractor should be available to respond both remote and on-site during CIRT activations to provide guidance to CIRT, and consultations during and after critical incidents as they arise and guide employees to local -services.
