About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Procurement Operations, Science and Technology Acquisitions Division, has issued a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity to award a Time and Material task order to Battelle Memorial Institute for the procurement of support services including Readiness Assistance, Readiness Testing, technical assessments, and rapid response support for the DHS Science and Technology Directorate's Transportation Security Laboratory. This interim order is necessary because Battelle Memorial Institute is the only responsible source capable of providing the required services at the necessary level of quality and expertise based on their prior work and existing familiarity with DHS's test and evaluation methods and standards. The proposed interim task order will provide three months of performance for these services, with a follow-on competitive task order expected to be awarded in August 2024. The anticipated cost is determined to be fair and reasonable.
