About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations published a Special Notice announcing an upcoming Industry Day and soliciting comments on a draft requirements document for developing a Mass Rescue Operations device. The DHS Science and Technology Directorate and United States Coast Guard Research and Development Center are seeking an ultra-lightweight, large capacity floating device for short-term lifesaving and rescue assistance during disasters.
The Special Notice provides details for a wholly virtual Industry Day to be held on May 25, 2021 to collaborate on refining concepts for a Mass Rescue Operations device that can hold between 100-150 people, weigh no more than 150 pounds, and function for up to 36 hours in sea states up to 5 and temperatures from 35-85 degrees Fahrenheit. All vendors are invited to submit questions on the draft requirements document by May 10, 2021. The Industry Day will facilitate collaboration to meet agency requirements for awards that will fund a two-phase program, with Phase I for design concept and prototype development/testing, and an optional Phase II for final design selection and open water testing.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Procurement Operations, in support of the Port & Waterway Resiliency (P&WR) program within the DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) Office of Mission and Capability Support (MCS) and the United States Coast Guard’s (USCG’s) Research and Development Center (RDC), welcomes your participation at an upcoming Industry Day and comments on the draft Requirements Document for a Mass Rescue Operations (MRO) device.
The DHS P&WR program resides within the Borders and Maritime Safety and Security (BMSS) portfolio and is dedicated to fostering the development of new or improved technology as a force multiplier/enabler to help address the DHS maritime challenges while maintaining fiscal responsibility. The program develops risk-based strategies to enhance management of ports and waterways, including better ways to conduct health assessments, analyze the condition of ports and waterways, and supports component customer research and development needs.
The RDC is the USCG's primary facility performing research, development, and test and evaluation in support of the service's major missions. The RDC is responsible for evaluating the feasibility and affordability of mission execution solutions and providing operational and risk-management analysis at all stages of the acquisition process.
Together, P&WR and the RDC are collaborating to develop an effective solution to short-term lifesaving and rescue assistance in the case of disasters that render existing systems (distress calls, onboard lifeboats, etc.) inoperable or infeasible. To mitigate loss of life, USCG wants to develop a non-standard, large capacity, ultra-lightweight floating device that will be deployed from air or boat during a MRO.
The wholly-virtual Industry Day will be held on May 25, 2021 from 1 – 3 PM Eastern Time. The purpose of this Industry Day is to collaborate with attendees to refine and socialize MRO device concepts and to facilitate industry collaboration in order to meet S&T and USCG requirements. To RSVP to attend the event and to receive additional details, please register at https://sri-csl.regfox.com/dhs-mro-baa-may25
Vendors should be aware that the list of attendees for the Industry Day will be posted and or shared after the event to facilitate industry collaboration.
All vendors are invited to ask questions on the attached draft Requirements Document to be addressed at the Industry Day. Questions may be submitted via email to BAA_MassRescue@hq.dhs.gov. The deadline for question submission is May 10, 2021 at 10 AM Eastern Time.
Any other questions on the Industry Day and draft Requirements Document may be submitted to BAA_MassRescue@hq.dhs.gov.
