- Description
- The goal of this REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) is to address the desired capability (mentioned herein) for the FAST system and to gather information on innovative strategies for the development of real-time, automated fusion technologies. Through this RFI, DHS S&T is seeking responses to determine the availability of dynamic or adaptable fusion (supervised or unsupervised learning) technologies that will provide a fusion capability for the output metrics from a variety of non-intrusive sensors both current and under development, which will be incorporated into a reconfigurable FAST Demonstration Laboratory to support human behavior screening research, development and demonstrations. The FAST Demonstration Laboratory will be used to host screening experiments as well as tests and evaluations to characterize the utility of these sensor based components to enhance the performance of security staff that is responsible for discerning intent to cause damage or harm. Field research will be conducted in multiple venues including high volume transportation, border and special security events applications, as well as access control for critical infrastructures. THIS IS A RFI ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes; - it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP or Broad Area Announcement (BAA). This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service. DHS S&T is not at this time seeking proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay any cost incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP or BAA. If a solicitation is released, it will be via the Federal Business Opportunities (http://www.fedbizopps.gov) and the DHS HSARPA website (http://www.hsarpabaa.com/). It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor these websites for any information that may pertain to this RFI. The information provided in this RFI is subject to change and is not binding on the Government. All submissions become the property of the Federal Government, and will not be returned.
