B.4 PRICING TABLE

Offerors shall submit unit and extended pricing using the attached Appendix A to Section B.

SECTION C – DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 INTRODUCTION

C.1.1 Passport Card Program Background

The Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs (DoS/CA), in cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), plans to develop and implement a U.S. card-format passport; a credit-card-size travel document. The Passport Card will be an accepted alternative to the traditional book-style passport for presentation at U.S. land and sea border crossings by June 1, 2009. The Passport Card is intended to be functional in the DHS People Access Security Service (PASS) system, an integrated, automated border-crossing identification system including programs such as NEXUS, Secure Electronic Network for Travelers’ Rapid Inspection (SENTRI), and Free and Secure Trade Program (FAST).

The origin of this program is Section 7209 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA) that requires passports or other secure documents denoting citizenship and identity be used to enhance border security within the Western Hemisphere. The Act, now law and amended, requires the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to develop and implement a plan before June 1, 2009 to require all travelers, U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens alike, to present "a passport or other document, or combination of documents, deemed by the Secretary of Homeland Security to be sufficient to denote identity and citizenship” when entering the United States . The Act also requires that DHS and DoS expedite travel for frequent travelers, including those who reside in border communities. The Passport Card is specifically designed to facilitate the travel of those who reside in border communities.

A description of the anticipated DoS Passport Card personalization process is in Section J, Attachment A: Notional DoS Concept of Operations.

A DHS description of the anticipated use of the Passport Card at U.S. land border crossings is in Section J, Attachment B: Notional DHS Concept of Operations.

C.1.2 Passport Card Items To Be Procured

C.1.2.1 General

To successfully meet the mandate and timeline of the above Act, DoS plans to procure a solution that consists of Passport Card printers, card stock, RF Attenuating Sleeves, Personalization Quality Assurance (QA) readers and the necessary technical support services.

Throughout the life of the contract, DoS will purchase supplies and services to permit ongoing Passport Card personalization.

DoS seeks the flexibility to obtain individual components of the procured solution to accommodate growth, production concept changes, etc.

Additionally, DoS seeks the flexibility in the option years to use the Card Stock and support infrastructure, such as printers and readers procured under this RFP to create additional types of Travel Cards. These alternative Travel Cards would be functionally similar to the Passport Card but would be used to denote disparate travel privileges.

C.1.3 Passport Card Program Description

C.1.3.1 Three-Phased Program Implementation

To meet CA’s ambitious implementation milestones, program risk will be minimized with a carefully controlled three-phased effort. Program Phase I is to acquire the Passport Card and related products such as printers, RF Attenuating Sleeves, and reader/writers. Program Phase II is to modify, develop, and test the necessary systems and infrastructures to utilize those products that were acquired during Program Phase I to produce the Passport Card. Program Phase III is to deploy the capability to issue the Passport Card system-wide within CA.

C.1.3.2 Program Phase I: Passport Card Acquisition

The goal of Phase I is to acquire a Passport Card solution to satisfy the requirements of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI).

C.1.3.2.1 Passport Card Acquisition Strategy

To meet the Program Phase I goal, CA is expanding its capability to issue travel documents. The current Passport issuance infrastructure will be modified to support Passport Card issuance.

The major elements of the DoS acquisition strategy are:

1. Issue a Request for Information (RFI) for industry comment

2. Hold Industry Day conference for Questions and Answers (Q&A) concerning RFI

3. Obtain NIST Certification of the card architecture described in this Statement of Work (SOW)

4. Issue RFP

5. Require proposals 45 calendar days after RFP issuance

6. Review proposals (technical and cost) and down-select top Offerors

7. Observe a demonstration of top Offerors’ products and down-select for testing

8. Conduct Government testing of top Offerors’ products (as described in Section J: Attachment I)

9. Evaluate results of Government tests of top Offerors’ products

10. Select an Awardee.

C.1.3.3 Program Phase II: Pre Deployment Preparation

Once a Passport Card personalization solution is procured, CA will leverage the existing DoS infrastructure to issue Passport Cards.

Phase II will seek to mitigate the following risks:

· DoS Concept of Operations for personalization of cards is new and untested.

· DoS must modify and test existing IT systems to conduct issuance of the Passport Card, archive issuance data, and facilitate data sharing with DHS.

· DHS’s Concept of Operations for the Passport Card is new and untested.

C.1.3.4 Program Phase III: Deployment

During Phase III, CA will begin receipt of updated passport applications, to include requests for Passport Cards, and begin issuance of fully valid Passport Cards at the Print Facility and select Domestic Passport Agencies.

C.2 PROCUREMENT OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE

This procurement will lead to the procurement of specified equipment, supplies, materials and technical support needed for the production of a new U.S. Passport Card with radio frequency identification (RFID) capability, using an ISO 18000 6C compliant embedded integrated contactless circuit (ICC). The issuance of the Passport Card is described in Section J, Attachment A: Notional DoS Concept of Operations. The use of this new U.S. Passport Card is described in Section J, Attachment B: Notional DHS Concept of Operations.

C.3 RESERVED

C.4 DELIVERABLES

Through the life of the contract DoS will purchase equipment, supplies and services to permit ongoing Passport Card personalization. Deliverables are described below for the Base Year and four Option Years. It is anticipated that printer consumables are not required for production of Passport Cards. If the Offeror’s solution requires printer consumables to be successful, Offeror shall specify those printer consumables and their cost in the Offeror’s proposal.

C.7.2 Passport Card Laser Engraving Personalization Printers (CLINs 0002, 0003, 0004) Proposed printers will be integrated into the existing environment as described in Section J, Attachment A. Specifically, DoS will be expanding both High Volume print centers and Low to Mid Volume regional facilities for card issuance. These are encapsulated in CLIN 0002 and CLIN 0003. In each case, the system needs to be able to obtain either the ICC number or the Card number in order to match the card to the vendor supplied inventory before personalization (See Section J, Attachment C).

The Offeror shall provide a printing solution that can be described in the following categories:

High Volume card personalization capability that can reside at a Centralized Print Facility or other printing facility that can accommodate larger equipment for large batch personalization.

Low to Mid Volume card personalization capability that can reside at the various Regional Issuance (Low to Mid Volume Issuance) Agencies and be utilized within typical office cubicle boundaries to support expedited issuance of Passport Cards to walk-in or nearby customers for same-day service.

Card characteristics, after personalization, shall be consistent across these two platforms, leaving no discernable difference to the naked eye. The card stock shall be interchangeable between the printers. All desired features described in this section shall also be available on either High Volume or Low to Mid Volume platforms.

C.7.2.1 Personalization Data

The proposed printer shall utilize laser engraving for personalization of the data described in Section J: Attachment C, Data Format for Passport Card.
