CBP-RFI-Persistent Surveillance and Detection along US Southern Border

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued a pre-solicitation Request for Information (RFI) seeking updated cost information for the installation of Persistent Surveillance Detection (PSD) systems along the U.S. Southern Border. The RFI is divided into two categories: 1) the extension of a currently installed PSD system in mile increments, and 2) the full installation of a PSD system in a new location in two or four increments. The estimated costs should include training, network integration, information assurance security, and any other relevant information. The offerings must meet a desired minimum threshold requested by CBP to meet operational requirements. Responses to the RFI are due by Noon Eastern Time on April 19, 2024, and should be sent via email to the provided address. The government will review all submissions and seek further clarification from respondents, if necessary.

This opportunity does not have a set-aside designation. The relevant NAICS code is likely 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), and the PSC code is likely R425 (Engineering and Technical Services). The government has not provided any information about potential incumbents or current contractors. The government has also not specified any award values or budget ranges. The RFI is focused on obtaining updated cost information for the installation of PSD systems, but does not indicate the exact quantity of goods or timeline for services.
