About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice to procure specialized opioid-related training and investigative tools from Marshall University. Per the Homeland Security Act of 2002 and the need to improve opioid capabilities for Homeland Security Investigations and law enforcement partners, Marshall University was sole sourced due to its expertise in forensics, proximity to law enforcement, and location in an area heavily impacted by the opioid crisis. No other sources satisfied all requirements. Marshall University was awarded contract number 70RSAT20C00000058 on September 22, 2020 for an unknown value to provide opioid smuggling research and training curricula over an estimated 36 month period.
Notice text
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) has procured on a sole source basis development of specialized opioid-related training and investigative tools in support of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in their efforts to combat the opioid crisis.
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296) states that DHS S&T will conduct research, development, evaluation, and dissemination of advanced tools and techniques that facilitate investigative work, including technical assistance and training materials for law enforcement personnel. Pursuant to this mission, there is a need to improve opioid-related capabilities and training for HSI and their law enforcement partners. To address the ongoing opioid crisis, the S&T Office of Mission Capability Support Opioid Detection Program is funding efforts to develop improved capabilities including knowledge products to enhance DHS Components’ counterdrug mission performance.
The requirement is to provide the requisite research into digital and chemical forensic methods associated with opioid smuggling, and to develop training curricula for HSI and their law enforcement partners, as well as undergraduate students.
Awarded contract 70RSAT20C00000058 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2020-09-22.
