Mobile Video Surveillance System (MVSS)

For the purposes of industry planning, the government would like to provide an update on the progress of the Mobile Video Surveillance System (MVSS) source selection.  Proposal evaluations are still in process and are expected to be completed soon.  The current estimate for contract award is the fourth quarter of FY2014.  This industry update is for informational purposes only, is not binding in any way, and is subject to change.  This update is not intended to change the scope, content or instructions in the MVSS RFP and associated amendments. Please do not respond to this Special Notice as the response date for the MVSS proposal has already passed.

The MVSS enables USBP to efficiently monitor selected Areas of Coverage (AoC)1 within an Area of Interest (AoI) and is the preferred solution in certain urban, rural, and remote areas that are difficult to access and monitor with other systems.

Each MVSS will provide a day/night surveillance capability that can be deployed on USBP 4x4 vehicles wherever they can safely maneuver. The MVSS will be deployed for day or night use to provide surveillance when intelligence indicators signal that Items of Interest (IoIs) are in or approaching an area. They will also be deployed to augment fixed surveillance systems that have line-of-sight (LoS) coverage gaps caused by existing infrastructure, terrain (e.g., ravines or washes), or vegetation. While day use can occur, most operations will occur at night. Each system will require one agent for operation of the system and one or more agent(s) to respond to any detected traffic.
