Description

DHS Science and Technology (S&T) is interested in receiving proposals for Long Range Science and Technology Projects and innovative prototypes which offer potential for advancement and improvement of homeland security missions and operations. Readers should note that this is an announcement to declare S&T's broad role in competitive funding of meritorious research across a spectrum of science and engineering disciplines. The overall mission and goal of S&T is to identify revolutionary, evolving, and maturing technologies that can be demonstrated to provide significant improvement to homeland security missions and operations through proof of concept and prototyping with potential for transition to current and future DHS acquisition processes. S&T will focus on those key areas where risk inhibits mission and operation investments and where significant capability payoffs can be expected for successful efforts. Related technologies are being pursued by other elements of the US Government, and in those cases, DHS S&T will leverage and use those technology developments wherever it is practicable and efficient to do so. S&T will also facilitate access to laboratory and operationally relevant test and evaluation facilities wherever reasonably available. Topical Areas of strategic interest include: Explosives countermeasures, including the detection, mitigation, and response to explosive threats including manpads, home made explosives, improvised explosive devices, suicide bombers and vehicle borne improvised explosive devices. Chemical and Biological analyses and countermeasures, including improved characterization and prioritization of threats, development and detection systems for early attack warning that minimize exposure and speed treatment of victims, new forensic methods to support attribution, and novel concepts for decontamination and restoration, agrodefense, and food security. Border and Maritime Security technologies and tools that better secure our land and maritime ports of entry. Concepts and prototypes for pilot testing surveillance and monitoring capabilities that cover vast expanses of remote border and the development and evaluation of security devices and new inspection methods to secure the large volume of cargo entering U.S. ports daily. Command, Control, & Interoperability for emergency responders, security and integrity of networked infrastructures, and the development of automated capabilities that "connect-the-dots" for threat detection. Human Factors analyses and techniques to improve detection, analysis, and understanding of threats posed by individuals, groups, and radical movements; preparedness, response and recovery of communities impacted by catastrophic events; and overall effectiveness of homeland security technologies through improved usability and application. Infrastructure Protection analyses and techniques for identifying and mitigating all hazard vulnerabilities of the 17 critical infrastructure and key assets that keep our society and economy functioning. Multiple awards are anticipated to be issued through this BAA. This announcement will close on 12/31/2008. White Paper and/or Full Proposals must be submitted no later than 4:30 PM Eastern Standard Time by 12/31/2008. NOTE: There is a registration process (see Section IV of the BAA). As identified in Amendment 4 to the BAA, the Department of Homeland Security's BAA Website is now operational and a Prospective Offeror must ensure that it will allow itself sufficient time to complete the online registration and submission process.
